Baitcast
The new Shimano Aldebaran MGL is a super lightweight low profile baitcaster. Weighing just 135 grams, it fits perfectly on every BFS rod. Thanks to the 9 + 1 S-ARB ball bearings, all parts of the Aldebaran are very smooth and supple. In addition, the Aldebaran has a new and extremely lightweight MGL coil. This results in a very low start-up inertia, which is why it is possible to throw very light baits even further. The Aldebaran MGL also has a new SVS Infinity Breaking System built in, which can be fine tuned to prevent wigging when throwing. Taking all this into account, the Aldebaran MGL is the perfect role for bait-finesse fishing and vertical jigging for perch and zander. With a maximum braking force of 4.5 kg, she will also be able to handle large pike.
The Metanium DC is the flagship among the Shimano Baitcasters. In addition to the very impressive technologies such as 9 + 1 high-quality ball bearings, X-Ship, Hagane Body, MicroModule, S3D coil, etc., their biggest advantage lies in the braking system. The brake is equipped with the digital I-DC5 (Digital Control) system. In this braking system, a computer chip is installed, which calculates exactly the correct braking force of the coil during the throw 1000x per second. One chooses only one preset (type of bait, type of string) and the role takes care of the rest. This results in: uncomplicated spin fishing, very long throws, less knot / wig formation and less problems when throwing crosswinds or under other difficult conditions. It is an allround baitcaster that can effortlessly throw baits from 5 grams to 80 grams. It is perfect for light perch fishing, pike fishing with medium sized lures and, of course, for pike-perch fishing. P>

The SLX DC is designed for effortless casting – in any condition. The DC braking system means: this reel has ‘brains’. The DC system calculates 1000 times per second what the right braking force is, in order to prevent backlash and at the same time optimizing the distance and accuracy of the cast. It makes fishing with a baitcasting reel very easy and effortless. No need to change the settings of the reel when the weather or lure changes: the DC system will do this for you. This results for more efficient fishing time and focus for the angler.
