SHIMANO 16 Engetsu 101PG

Engetsu is the first reel equipped with a micro module gear specifically for tairaba, and is a high-spec model that combines smoothness, power, and sensitivity with a highly rigid HAGANE body.
The tightly interlocking gears significantly reduce noise during retrieval, allowing for stable, constant winding speed while also transmitting even the heartbeat of the red sea bream.
The sensitivity that catches even the faint bites in deep ranges and fish that are biting when they are less active will be a great advantage against cunning large sea bream.
After a hit, the light and exciting drag sound creates a blissful tairaba game.

Micro module gear
Overwhelming smoothness that will impress you. Gear noise is greatly reduced by making the gears as fine as possible and meshing as many times as possible. Achieves smooth feel and power transmission without reducing strength.

HAGANE body
Highly rigid metal body. Ensures shock resistance and can withstand unexpected impacts. By minimizing deflection, the angler's power is converted into "power" to reel in.

X-SHIP
At the heart of the rotational performance that improves power transmission efficiency is X-SHIP, the crystallization of Shimano Chia Racology, which has been redesigned with a review of the gear degree and arrangement, and by making the meshing stronger, strength and durability have been greatly improved. Power is transmitted without loss, enabling efficient winding.

Carbon cross washer
Carbon cross washer is a highly durable material with very little change in drag characteristics due to frictional heat. This washer is used for the Engetsu. The smooth release regardless of the load further enhances the silky drag performance.

SVS ∞ (Infinity)
Equipped with a brake that is effective for underhand casting of tairaba. The brake can be adjusted instantly with the outer dial, allowing you to select the ideal brake force according to the size of the tairaba and the situation.

51mm long crank handle
Adds grip power to winding power The handle uses a 51mm long crank handle. The knob is also designed to be easy to grip and not lose the bite, improving winding power and reeling stability.

Exciting drag sound
When the fish pulls out the line during a fight, a drag sound is heard. Not only does it make it easier to grasp the strength of the fish's pull and make it easier to judge the losing point, but the exhilarating drag sound also lifts the angler's spirits and creates a dynamic game.
