SHIMANO 15 Power Aero Pro Surf Standard

A lightweight model that is strong enough to tackle big fish.
This twin drag model is lightweight, weighing just 600g. The "HAGANE body" maintains high rigidity, and the latest specifications include the "X-SHIP" for smooth reeling and the "Parallel body" for stress-free long-distance casting. It also comes with an egg-shaped handle knob that is easy to grip. It comes with a spare spool that is one rank thicker and can be used in a variety of situations.

Instantly restores drag settings when waiting for a bite. Twin drags that instantly activate are essential for casting big fish with a stationary rod.
TWIN DRAG Instant start twin drag

Not only can you instantly turn the drag on and off, but you can also adjust the drag setting when waiting for a bite according to the target fish and the conditions of the fishing spot. When targeting large gizzard shad with a stationary rod or flathead or flounder using live bait, set the drag setting when waiting to bite loosely so as not to cause discomfort to the target fish. Also, when fishing in a fishing spot with a fast tide or when targeting red sea bream or yellow porgy, if you want to set the drag a little stronger, set the drag setting when waiting to bite strong. It is very troublesome to fine-tune these drag settings when waiting for a bite after every cast. It also makes it difficult to return the lure, which can lead to problems. The instant-activation twin drag eliminates this hassle and sluggishness.

Step 1
First, loosen the drag knob A. Then, turn the preset knob B according to the target fish and fishing conditions, and set the drag to your desired bite-waiting state. That's it.

Step 2
When casting, tighten the drag knob A and cast. (It tightens instantly.)

Step 3
After casting, simply loosen the A drag knob and the drag will instantly return to the standby state you set earlier.

* If you adjust the B preset knob first, you can instantly restore the drag setting that was in standby. This is the instant-start twin drag.

HAGANE
Shimano's design philosophy is to utilize its metal processing technology to create products that are truly worth using.
Robust enough to be used safely even in harsh conditions. Sensitive and precise winding feel and a solid feel. And winding power beyond imagination. By relentlessly pursuing reels that anglers can truly use, this work has produced HAGANE gear and HAGANE bodies, which have become Shimano's belief. Everything is for anglers.

HAGANE Gear
Our goal was to provide a rolling experience that would never change.
A block of metal is pressed under high pressure and finished with micron-level precision without cutting. A unique technology called precision cold forging produces hard, resilient gears, allowing for a smooth winding experience. 

X Ship
Larger diameter drive gear, optimal placement of both pinion and drive gears, and two-point support by pinion gear bearings. These sturdy gear meshing ensures light and easy reeling that is resistant to loads.

HAGANE Body
By using lightweight and highly rigid metals such as aluminum and magnesium, the reel is prevented from bending, warping, or twisting. It protects the delicate gear meshing and enables smooth reeling.

G Free Body
By placing the sliding parts that move the spool back and forth on the top of the reel body, we have succeeded in moving the center of gravity of the entire reel closer to the hand. This improves the sense of unity with the rod, reduces fatigue when casting, and improves rod operability.

Parallel Body
When casting, to prevent the line from hitting the rod, while keeping the position of the rod and reel the same, the center line of the spool is made parallel to the rod, which allows for smooth line release and increases casting distance.

S A-RB
By applying a special anti-rust treatment to the bearing itself, the rust resistance has been greatly improved. The S A-RB also has its sides sealed with an anti-rust material, which greatly reduces salt buildup caused by salt recrystallization inside the bearing.
