Shimano Soare BB FB

Precision and Sensitivity for Demanding Ultralight Fishing

If you fish with the finest lines and smallest ultralight lures and want maximum feedback and control, the Shimano Soare BB FB is the ideal choice for your setup. Developed specifically for light rock fishing on the demanding Japanese domestic market (JDM), it performs equally well for trout area fishing and street fishing and drop shotting. The extremely light and compact build creates an excellently balanced combination with your rod, transmitting even the subtlest movements of your lure directly to your hand.

Advanced Technologies for Maximum Sensitivity

At the heart of the Shimano Soare BB FB, some of Shimano's most advanced technologies work together to deliver exceptionally precise and direct lure control. Both the body and the rotor are made from the innovative, featherweight CI4+ composite material, which noticeably improves balance and keeps fatigue at bay on long days on the bank. The proven HAGANE Gear combined with MicroModule II and InfinityXross produces an extremely smooth, powerful retrieve and outstanding longevity. Silent Drive and Infinity Drive technologies ensure the rotation runs with virtually no resistance and zero vibration, so you can focus entirely on detecting the most delicate bites. The flat Long-Stroke Spool in AR-C design is specifically designed for fine lines, optimising line release and delivering impressive casting distances - even with the lightest lures. The One-Piece Bail and Anti-Twist Fin keep line management clean and reliable. Rounding everything off is the sensitive High-Response drag system for confident fish-playing on light gear, plus X-Protect sealing against saltwater ingress.

Technology Overview

• CI4+ Composite Material: An ultralight and extremely robust material used for the body and rotor, delivering maximum sensitivity.
• HAGANE Gear: Ensures lasting smoothness, effortless cranking and exceptional durability in the gearing.
• MicroModule II: High-precision gear tooth profiling for an exceptionally smooth and near-silent retrieve.
• INFINITYXROSS: Extends gear life through significantly more even pressure distribution across the gear flanks.
• Infinity Drive: Noticeably reduces rotational resistance - even under heavy load during the fight.
• Silent Drive: Eliminates the finest vibrations in the body for outstanding running smoothness.
• X-Ship: Optimises power transfer from the handle to the rotor for effortless retrieval.
• AR-C Spool: The patented spool lip reduces friction during the cast for maximum distance and a minimised risk of tangles.
• Long-Stroke Spool: The taller spool allows a shallower line release angle and noticeably greater casting distances.
• Cross Carbon Drag: Provides a wider range of drag settings and an exceptionally smooth performance.
• G Free Body: Shifts the reel's centre of gravity towards the rod for improved casting performance.
• Coresolid: Rotor made from metal or high-strength resin for particularly smooth, light rotation.
• Anti-Twist Fin: A small elastic fin near the line roller that keeps loose line taut and optimises line lay.
• X-Protect: Effective protection against saltwater ingress and dirt for a long service life.
• S A-RB: Shielded ball bearings.
• One-Piece Bail: A single-piece line bail with no joints or edges to snag the line.
