SHIMANO 18 Baygame 151DH

The HAGANE body has a high rigidity design without flex. The gear system uses X-SHIP and micro module gears to ensure exceptionally smooth reeling performance and reel sensitivity that can detect even the most delicate bites. Two types of handles are available. The 60mm power single handle and the 55mm power double handle are equipped with extra-large handle knobs. Reeling performance under high load becomes more powerful and smooth. Features include the centrifugal brake system SVS, core fit body, and exciting drag sound. The gear ratio of 6.9 and the 200m PE 1.5 thread capacity are also added with a cast function that can attack a wide range, expanding the range of games such as deep-sea filefish and squid, popular octopus egi in Osaka Bay, light flounder, hairtail, tairaba, and light jigging.

HAGANE Body
The highly rigid HAGANE body firmly supports the precision internal mechanism. It can withstand unexpected impacts and transmits the winding force reliably by minimizing deflection. Despite its low-profile body, it provides a stable winding feel like a round metal reel.

X-SHIP
The advanced mechanism that gives shape to smoothness is X-SHIP. The gear system, which is the heart of rotation performance, has been completely redesigned, and the gears have been optimized, support performance has been improved, and rotational resistance has been eliminated to improve power transmission efficiency, resulting in improved gear feeling, strength, and durability.

Micro Module Gear
This mechanism is the first to be installed in a marine reel. By miniaturizing the teeth of the pinion and drive gear and closely meshing them in large numbers, gear noise has been significantly reduced, and we have succeeded in reducing gear noise to less than half of the conventional level, without significantly reducing strength, and achieving a smooth winding feel and power transmission.

Two types of power handles
The double handle is 55mm long and uses a NEW EVA oversized knob. The single handle is 60mm long and uses an EVA knob. Both enable efficient power transmission and powerful winding, and the double handle has two handle knobs for easy handling. The single handle allows you to grip the handle knob firmly with your palm, so you can fight with big fish or retrieve heavier tackle without losing power, giving you more peace of mind.

Exciting drag sound
Shimano's unique drag sound system allows you to enjoy the sound of the drag tension caused by the fish's pull when it hits. Not only does it make it easier to grasp the fish's pull and strength and make decisions about the key points of the game, but the exhilarating drag sound also lifts the angler's spirits. When fishing at night, the strength of the sound can be used as a guide to interacting with the fish, allowing you to handle even the most anxious fights with ease.

SVS
Shimano centrifugal brake system that quickly starts spool rotation, reduces backlash, and improves casting performance. When there is no reaction with vertical lures, you can cast sideways to search for points over a wide area and expand the hit zone, allowing for aggressive fishing.

Core Fit Body
This body has been made more compact by moving the mechanical brake knob, which is usually located on the handle side, to the palming side. This improves the fit and balance when bimming, and improves the series of actions and operability such as lures and hooking.

70mm Long Crank Handle
The 300PG/301PG is equipped with a 70mm long crank handle with an extra-large handle knob made of Cr+. It is suitable for not only flounder and red sea bream, but also octopus and blue fish.

S3D spool
By completely reviewing the cutting method, the spool precision has been improved dramatically. As a result, the quietness during casting has been improved. (Compared to our previous model)
