About this piece

The Shimano 08 Chinumatic is a compact baitcasting reel purpose-built for black porgy (chinu) fishing. It combines a high-speed 7.1:1 retrieve with a lightweight 205g body and specialized features like a double handle and instant anti-reverse. The included two spare spools and carbon drag washer ensure reliable performance in saltwater environments.

Key features

  • 7.1:1 high-speed gear ratio with 66cm line retrieve per crank for fast hooksets.
  • A-RB anti-rust bearings and carbon drag washer for smooth, corrosion-resistant operation.
  • Instant Clutch allows one-thumb engagement for immediate hooksets.
  • Super Stopper eliminates backplay for solid hooksets and precise bait control.
  • Anti-Bait Spool keeps sand and groundbait out, extending maintenance intervals.
  • Double handle and Technical Grip provide comfort and quick cranking.

Best for

  • Targeting black porgy (chinu) and other inshore species around structure and harbors.
  • Bait fishing with groundbait (dango) where quick hooksets are critical.
  • Anglers who prefer a lightweight, dedicated chinu reel with high-speed retrieve.
