The SR-Concept combines the new
concept of Reliance with all aspects of
the S-Concept: Smooth, Silent and Strong.
The Reliance Concept, or R-Concept, means
that dreams in reel design are now evolving
into reality. The result of the use of the
new S-R Concept in design is the development
of many exciting new features.
* SR-3D Gear Designed using
3-D analysis, this gear allows for more
contact between teeth for increased power
and efficiency
* Rigid Support Drag This
innovative new feature eliminates spool
wobble, even at light drag settings.
* SR-Guard Fin The SR Guard
Fins are coated with titanium for increased
resistance to impact damage.
* SR-Handle This handle
screws directly into to the drive gear,
resulting in zero play between the handle
and gear. The 1000 size handle is a very
thin solid shank, while the larger sizes
use a hollow handle shank, that reduces
weight while maintaining excellent durability.
* SR-One-Piece Bail This
one-piece stainless steel bail wire has
no gap for line to snag on during normal
operation.
* All Weather Drag The
drag washers are protected by a waterproof
gasket and provide a wide range of settings,
low start up inertia, and excellent durability.
* S-Concept Represents
Shimanos initial philosophy on which many
of our spinning reels have been designed.
The three basic ideas that are inherent
in the S-Concept are Smooth, Silent and
Strong.
* Super Slow Oscillation
Lays the line perfectly onto the spool for
the best line lay and castability.
* S-Arm Cam A protruding
surface on the bail arm keeps slack line
in contact with the line roller to reduce
the chance of tangles and line cuts.
* S-Rotor Compact and lightweight
to ensure a comfortable retrieve.
* S-Guard Protects the
body of the reel from impact damage.
* S-Finish A multi-coated
treatment that produces an extremely durable,
beautiful finish.
* S-Shield Body Rubber
shields at the rotor and body prevent harmful
sand or water from entering the drivetrain.
* S-Bail A flexible spring
material used in the bail assembly helps
to avoid a bent bail wire situation.
* Wide Diameter Drive Gear
Provides incredible torque and an easy retrieve.
* Direct Drive Mechanism The
drive gear is directly attached to the handle
shaft for an increased transmission of power.
* Low Wear Rate Pinion Gear Double
the hardness of our standard pinion gears
for increased durability.
* Maintenance Port A sealed
plug that can be removed using a screwdriver
to easily lubricate the drivetrain without
disassembling the reel.
* Magnesium Frame Our magnesium
frames are safe for use in saltwater and
provide an extremely lightweight reel.
* Magnesium Sideplate
* Aluminum Rotor
* Cold Forged Aluminum Spool with Titanium
Lip
* Black Almite Super Duralumin Drive
Gear is a high strength, low weight
gear that is coated to provide scratch and
corrosion resistance (available only on
3000 and 4000 models).
