SHIMANO 22 Kisu Special 45 Ultra-Thin

Farther and more accurate. A 45mm stroke will take you to new heights in casting.
Shimano's highest peak casting reel, Kiss Special. Adopts "Rigid Cast" optimal balance design that suppresses deflection of the body and main shaft. By obtaining rigidity and lightness that can withstand the impact of casting, the timing of release is stable, and the casting distance and accuracy have been dramatically improved. Infinity Drive and Silent Drive are also installed for the first time in a casting reel. It also has overwhelming winding power and precise winding feel. The flight, rigidity, lightness, and usability make it a reel worthy of being called the highest peak. Please enjoy the sensual casting feel created by the 45mm long stroke spool and new mechanism to your heart's content. We offer "CE GOKUHOSO" with super slow oscillate specification and "GOKUHOSO" with standard winding. The "45mm stroke spool" that comes standard with both models is included as a replacement spool.

The CE GOKUHOSO (Competition Edition/Super Slow 10) has a tightly wound line, so the resistance when releasing is significantly reduced compared to the GOKUHOSO (normal speed). On the other hand, the GOKUHOSO has a lighter weight due to simpler internal parts. We recommend the CE GOKUHOSO for those who want greater casting distance, and the GOKUHOSO for those who want even lighter weight.

Comes with a spare spool with a 45mm stroke

45mm stroke spool
The new model features a 45mm stroke, 10mm longer than previous models, which contributes greatly to increased casting distance.

X-Protect (line roller part)
A new waterproof structure was developed specifically for the line roller, as lighter rotation performance is required. We have stuck to a non-contact type that does not impair rotational lightness, and by adopting a labyrinth structure that suppresses water intrusion in addition to the conventional water-repellent treatment, we have achieved high waterproof performance while being non-contact. The salt-jamming durability of the line roller bearing has also been greatly improved.

CI4+ (Rotor)
A new carbon material that is an evolution of the lightweight carbon material, CI4+. While maintaining the lightness of CI4+, the rigidity and durability during actual fishing have been greatly improved. This has made it possible to make the rotor smaller and lighter.
