The Reel
Tekota’s legacy of durability continues with the fully redesigned Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Baitcast Reel. Vast improvements have been made, including Coreprotect water resist to increase corrosion resistance, an easy to replace anti-fogging lens (LC models), loud clicker and new ergonomic S-Compact body design.

Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing. The result transforms your actions directly into cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.

S-ARB
These bearings have been through the same process as our A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing’s rotation.

CoreProtect
Total protection. The concept of CoreProtect is simple – to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas of the reel that require protection: the roller clutch, body, and line roller.

Cross Carbon Drag
This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

The Rod
Providing the perfect balance between power and finesse, the new Shimano Blackout Overhead Rod features T45 blank technology to create a strong, powerful and crisp action with superb sensitivity in a sleek black design. Coupled with WINN grips to provide the ultimate comfort. This rod will not only help you land the fish you’re after, but it will allow you to do it in style.

WINN Grips
Unlike traditional cork or EVA grips, the new WINN grips are made from high quality polymer formulated to provide firmness, texture, sensitivity and comfort even when wet.
