Antares B

For over twenty years, the Antares has remained the benchmark for Shimano casting reels, and the new Antares B continues this tradition of excellence. Its modern and sleek design conceals a versatile reel, available in three gear ratios, featuring a lightweight magnesium body and advanced mechanics designed to meet the demands of the most technical anglers. While it can handle a wide variety of lures, it particularly excels in finesse approaches, allowing anglers to cast very light lures with remarkable precision. Finesse jigs, soft plastics, Ned rigs, or bait finesse, everything is handled with ease, while its powerful gearing also allows it to excel with crankbaits and swimbaits. During a fight, the Cross Carbon Drag ensures control and precision, even when facing an unexpected fish.

Its casting performance is based on the SVS Infinity brake and the Magnumlite MGL IV spool made of Ultra Duralumin, designed with S3D and optimized by Silent Tune technology, which eliminates vibrations to improve distance and fluidity, even with light lures. The HAGANE body incorporates a Micromodule gear and X-SHIP technology, ensuring smooth rotation and strong cranking power. With its comfort, control, and high-end design, the Antares B embodies the flagship of casting reels and confirms this series' place among the essential references for years to come.
