Shimano Tekota 601LC HG A Reel

Shimano Tekota 601LC HG A Reel. The Tekota is a small sized SW boat fishing or and/or light trolling reel. It describes it selves best as ‘a workhorse’. The reel has a levelwind system which is easy for the angler to get the line spooled well on the spool. The reel is equipped with very strong gearing, 3 S AR-B bearings, a clicker system, Hagane Aluminum Body frame and optional a line counter. The type of drag is a star drag, which is easy to adjust during the fight of a fish. Compared to the previous model, many things are new (body, looks, handle, gear ratio, drag power improved, weight slightly reduced, etc). Boat fishing, light SW trolling.

Features

• S Compact HAGANE Body (except 700 model) for extreme strength
• Level wind added to ensure excellent line lay
• Easily adjustable and reliable Star Drag
• Available with a line counter option for targeting fish feeding at specific depths
• Brass gear for high strength and durability
• Handle: Single Cold Forged Aluminium Handle

Hagane Body
The HAGANE Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

EI Surface Treatment
E.I Surface treatment doubles the durability of the spool surface and gives less wear out by eliminating oxidation.

Super Free System
The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system (SF) was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating friction and limiting the length of the cast. With SF, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, and when the clutch is disengaged the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result is zero friction on the spool shaft for increased freespool.

Compact Body
A compact body is a reel with a smaller body than usual, when you compare it to the line capacity of a equivalent model. For example: a size 3000 reel and a size C3000 reel have the same line capacity, but the C3000 has a smaller body.

S ARB
Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.
