Shimano Rarenium CI-4 Reel


New Rarenium spinning reels is the latest model to join the CI-4 family. CI4 stands for “Carbon Interfusion” with the “4” referring to the number of electrons in the Carbon atom. Ultimately, this means CI4 is reinforced Carbon Fiber.
It is over one and a half times stronger than our normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20% lighter. Because it does not contain metal, it is impervious to rust.So, as a result of its strength and weight, we can create an extremely lightweight reel with very precise tolerances. Shimano other hallmark designs were also spotted on this reel: Cold Forged drive gear & Hard Brass pinion gear resulted in a reel with strong cranking power. CF ARC Spool design guides line out of the spool effortlessly during casting. The use of 6 S-ARB, One Piece Bail and Machined Handle translated into a smooth & agile reel. Available from 1000 to 4000 size.
