The \u003cstrong\u003eoutstanding ergonomics\u003c\/strong\u003e give it a natural, secure grip. This is not a lightweight reel - the \u003cem\u003eAntares B\u003c\/em\u003e is built for \u003cstrong\u003erobustness and long-term durability\u003c\/strong\u003e, and at 210-215 g it reflects that priority. What you get in return is a reel you'll still be fishing years from now. Thanks to advanced gear, braking and casting technologies, it delivers the performance to satisfy even the most demanding angler. The \u003cem\u003eShimano Antares B\u003c\/em\u003e is a standout choice \u003cstrong\u003ewhen casting distance matters but you want to fish smaller lures\u003c\/strong\u003e. Anglers targeting perch and largemouth bass with finesse rigs, small soft plastics on light jig heads and smaller hard lures will get exactly what they need from it - while it also has the power to handle large crankbaits and heavy spinnerbaits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePowerful Gearing with Seamless Smoothness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eShimano Antares B\u003c\/em\u003e features a lightweight \u003cem\u003eHAGANE Body\u003c\/em\u003e machined from magnesium, providing a rigid, twist-resistant shell that protects the internal components. The \u003cem\u003eMicromodule Gear\u003c\/em\u003e combined with \u003cem\u003eX SHIP\u003c\/em\u003e technology delivers \u003cstrong\u003eseamless smoothness\u003c\/strong\u003e alongside \u003cstrong\u003epowerful cranking efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e, letting you work even resistance-heavy lures without overloading the reel. To further refine that cranking feel, the \u003cem\u003eAntares B\u003c\/em\u003e is also the \u003cstrong\u003efirst baitcaster to feature \u003cem\u003eSilent Drive\u003c\/em\u003e technology\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLess Friction, Less Vibration, More Distance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eShimano Antares B\u003c\/em\u003e is fitted with the \u003cem\u003eMagnumlite MGL IV Spool\u003c\/em\u003e, machined from ultra duralumin. Its specially designed reverse taper profile produces a \u003cstrong\u003eparticularly neat line lay\u003c\/strong\u003e, which directly reduces \u003cstrong\u003eline friction on the spool\u003c\/strong\u003e and the vibration that comes with it during the cast. The result is \u003cstrong\u003eimproved spool rotation\u003c\/strong\u003e and ultimately \u003cstrong\u003egreater casting distance\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cem\u003eS3D Design\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSuper Free Spool\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSilent Tune\u003c\/em\u003e technology work in concert to further minimise vibration and prevent the loss of casting energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Spool Optimised for the Brake System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eShimano Antares B\u003c\/em\u003e is equipped with the \u003cem\u003eSVS Infinity\u003c\/em\u003e braking system - a \u003cstrong\u003ecentrifugal brake\u003c\/strong\u003e that operates with \u003cstrong\u003e6 brake pins\u003c\/strong\u003e which you can set individually. The further out the pins are positioned, the greater the braking force. The system applies maximum braking power when spool rotation is at its peak - during the first half of the cast - preventing backlash. As the cast progresses and spool speed drops, the braking effect eases off to allow \u003cstrong\u003emaximum casting distance\u003c\/strong\u003e. To let the \u003cem\u003eSVS Infinity\u003c\/em\u003e system work to its full potential, Shimano enlarged the \u003cem\u003eMGL IV Spool\u003c\/em\u003e compared to its predecessor, bringing it to a diameter of 37 mm and a width of 21 mm. This allows the \u003cem\u003eSVS Infinity\u003c\/em\u003e braking system to deliver \u003cstrong\u003emaximum performance\u003c\/strong\u003e and, together with the other spool technologies, produce \u003cstrong\u003eoutstanding casting performance\u003c\/strong\u003e. The larger spool also brings \u003cstrong\u003eincreased line capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e - a useful bonus in its own right. When you're playing a fish, the \u003cem\u003eCross Carbon Drag\u003c\/em\u003e system has you covered. This \u003cstrong\u003eexceptionally precise drag\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers a very smooth braking performance that \u003cstrong\u003ecushions hard runs reliably without surrendering control\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnologies at a Glance:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eHAGANE Concept\u003c\/em\u003e - for high robustness and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eHAGANE Body\u003c\/em\u003e - ultra-rigid housing that protects the internal gearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eMicromodule Gear\u003c\/em\u003e - for extraordinary smoothness without compromising strength or durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eX SHIP\u003c\/em\u003e - for improved power transfer from the handle to the rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eSilent Drive\u003c\/em\u003e - for an optimised cranking feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eMGL Spool IV\u003c\/em\u003e - for reduced spool vibration and improved rotational performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eS3D\u003c\/em\u003e - for reduced spool vibration and a particularly smooth feel when casting and retrieving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eSilent Tune\u003c\/em\u003e - for reduced spool vibration and greater casting distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eSuper Free Spool\u003c\/em\u003e - for a particularly low-friction spool freespin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eSVS Infinity\u003c\/em\u003e - centrifugal brake system for optimum casting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eCross Carbon Drag\u003c\/em\u003e - for an exceptionally smooth drag performance when playing fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eS A-RB\u003c\/em\u003e - shielded ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Facts:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaitcaster - low profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentrifugal brake system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano's flagship baitcaster with centrifugal brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimised for excellent casting performance and high casting distances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnesium body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful gearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimised for long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly versatile - from finesse applications through to crankbaits and swimbaits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"101 MG LH","offer_id":50687852413274,"sku":"SF38049.1","price":520.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"101 HG LH","offer_id":50687852446042,"sku":"SF38049.2","price":520.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"101 XG LH","offer_id":50687852478810,"sku":"SF38049.3","price":500.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/9197\/0669\/files\/Shimano-Antares-B.jpg?v=1759437352","url":"https:\/\/www.pikeandperch.eu\/products\/shimano-antares-b","provider":"HechtundBarsch.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
