SHIMANO 23 BB-X Larissa 2500DXG

Rocky shorelines are a place where you never know when powerful fish, including large longtails, will appear. Lever-brake reels, which are primarily used in these waters, are expected to be subjected to high loads during reeling, requiring high rigidity throughout the reel, including the reel foot. The BB-X Larissa's HAGANE body is made of sturdy aluminum, minimizing concerns about impacts in harsh environments and power loss due to bending and twisting. Furthermore, the reel features hard, resilient HAGANE gears formed through precision cold forging, achieving a level of reel gear strength that's second to none.

X Protect: Enhances Water Resistance and Protects Rotation
High-level water resistance is essential for reels used on rocky shores, where they may be exposed to sea spray. The BB-X Larissa now features X Protect on the line roller. By combining a special water-repellent grease with a labyrinth structure that prevents water from entering, it achieves high water resistance without sacrificing smooth rotation.

Magnum Light Rotor for Superior Reverse Rotation Performance
Reduced rotational inertia and enhanced rotor rigidity.
One of the key performance features of a lever-brake reel is its quick start-up in reverse. The Larissa utilizes a Magnum Light Rotor with reduced rotational inertia to achieve smooth rotation. This superior rotor performance allows anglers to instantly transition from a disadvantageous position to a favorable one. It also provides sharp response during forward rotation to catch fish.

Zero-Fuke Tension Lever Prevents Line Trouble
The BB-X Larissa is the only 2500/C3000 size model equipped with a zero-fuke tension lever. By engaging the zero-fuke tension lever, you can apply slight tension (enough to prevent the rotor from reversing under the weight of the handle) to the rotor's reverse rotation, reducing line trouble caused by rotor reversal when baiting or changing tackle. It also suppresses the backlash that often occurs when a horse mackerel swims rapidly or the squid reverses its thrust when yaen fishing for bigfin reef squid.

A beautiful, trouble-free one-piece bail
This seamless, one-piece bail is molded in one piece. Not only is it beautiful, but it also suppresses line trouble around the bail, providing excellent trouble-free performance.
