SHIMANO 18 Cardiff CI4+ 1000S

Equipped with a drag system focused on trout fishing, with a rigid support drag that allows stable line release, a finely adjustable Eli drag, and a drag sound that produces a loud drag sound. The 1000S is an all-rounder for the area, while the 1000SHG improves winding sensitivity in the area and enables retrieval that can withstand fast currents in natural rivers. The C3000MHG targets big trout in the main stream. The C3000MHG is equipped with the advanced waterproof structure "X Protect". Both models have a "NEW Magnum Light Rotor" that achieves quick start-up, light rotation, and high sensitivity.

X Protect (C3000MHG)
A strong waterproof structure with water-repellent treatment + labyrinth structure improves waterproofing without increasing rotational resistance. In addition, the waterproof effect is maintained by adopting a non-contact type seal. Due to its light rotation, it can be used for the line roller, and the durability of the line roller bearing has been greatly improved in addition to the body part. It is used in the C3000MHG, which is designed for wading in this river basin.

Core Protect (1000S, 1000SHG)
Special water treatment that turns water into droplets and repels them on each part, and special grease sealing treatment block the intrusion of water and foreign objects while maintaining lightness and response. In addition, the mating surface of the body is water-repellent treated, and the stopper lever is eliminated to suppress water intrusion from the front, sides, and back of the body. The initial performance of the rotation is maintained for a long time.

Area Drag
All items are equipped with "Area Drag", which allows for more severe drag settings within the range of practical drag compared to normal drag. This function is for anglers who want to enjoy a tense offensive and defensive battle with precise drag adjustment in all trout fishing scenes, not just in the area.

HAGANE Gear
HAGANE Gear is forged to micron-level precision by compressing a block of metal. Precision cold forging technology does not scrape the surface or destroy the internal metal structure, achieving incredible durability and winding comfort. It enables light and powerful winding that does not care about pig fish.

NEW Magnum Light Rotor
The asymmetric rotor structure achieves a different dimension of rotational lightness. The "veil return mechanism" that was previously installed on the line roller side has been installed and transplanted to the cam side. Furthermore, by making the line roller lighter, using titanium for the veil, and optimizing the arrangement of the rotor thickness, we have succeeded in significantly reducing inertia. At the same time, we have improved the rotor rigidity on the line roller side, which contributes to drag performance.

G Free Body
The moving parts for moving the spool back and forth are placed on the top of the reel body, which successfully brings the center of gravity of the entire reel closer to the hand. This improves the sense of unity with the rod, reduces fatigue caused by casting, and improves rod operability.

Rigid Support Drag
By structurally strengthening the spool support by the main shaft, we have reduced the play and wobble of the spool when the drag is activated. Even if the line release point moves to the front or rear, it enables stable line release comparable to that of a double-axis reel.

Drag Sound
A new drag sound has been added that is particularly loud and snappy. In areas, it creates spectacular fight scenes, and produces an exciting sound even in valleys with continuous waterfalls and rough rapids in the main stream.

Cork knob
The "cork knob" combines a comfortable texture with winding sensitivity. You can also enjoy coordinating it with the Cardifrod series, which often uses cork grips.
