About this piece
The Shimano 25 Antares 100XG is the new flagship of centrifugal brake baitcasting reels, engineered for unparalleled casting performance and refined operation. It features a newly developed Magnumlite Spool 4 with a reverse taper design and an optimized spool size (37mm diameter, 21mm width) to maximize the SVS Infinity brake's potential. The synergy of a new line guide and gear-ratio-specific worm shaft ensures regular, balanced line lay, reducing spool vibration and power loss for exceptionally long, smooth casts.
