SHIMANO 23 Soare BB S80L-S
Overview
Start Your Light Game Journey with Soare BB
Light game fishing, represented by ajing and mebaring, has grown in popularity in recent years. No longer limited to targeting only horse mackerel or rockfish, anglers now pursue a wide variety of species with light tackle. Its simplicity is part of the appeal—but the real thrill lies in feeling those crisp bites and experiencing the excitement of “Hooked!” or the frustration of “Lost it!”
The Soare BB incorporates the highly regarded Bridge-Like Reel Seat, which enhances sensitivity by increasing surface hardness and reducing contact area between the palm and reel seat. Even in this BB class, Shimano has not compromised on performance.
While the action is tuned to be milder and less extreme than higher-end models, it still delivers sharp sensitivity. Additionally, the inclusion of High Power X construction suppresses blank twist, further elevating overall performance.
FEATURE
Bridge-Like Reel Seat
Enhanced surface hardness improves sensitivity over conventional materials. The compact design reduces palm contact area with the reel seat, further increasing bite transmission and overall feel.
