A lightweight Salmon combo that’s heavy on performance
Light and durable, the Shimano Ultegra 4000FB XG and #KAOS
Spinning Combo is a sleek, smooth and comfortable set for
casting Rapalas for Trout and softbaiting or micro-jigging for
Snapper. The Ultegra 4000FB XG reel’s Hagane gear and smooth
cranking power matches the new #KAOS’ sensitivity and comfort,
making it an ideal combo to use for all-day fishing.
The Reel
The Shimano Ultegra 4000FB XG Spinning Reel is
simply a delight to use, with better balance in the hand. It’s
designed using X-Ship technology, which not only makes the fishing
experience much more enjoyable with ultra-smooth retrieves but also
gives you more grunt when cranking in those larger saltwater
species. Whether you’re casting light Rapala lures to Trout,
softbaiting the wash or micro-jigging for Snapper, the
Shimano Ultegra 4000FB XG Spinning Reel eats it
up!
S-ARB bearings
These bearings have been through the same process as Shimano’s 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.
Cold forged aluminium spool
The spool provides increased strength and durability over diecast
aluminium or graphite spools
Power Roller II
This is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting
and retrieving and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support
to help line get onto the roller quicker.
X-ship
Together with the Hagane cold-forged drive gear, Shimano combined
X-Ship technology which results in a smooth, powerful and durable
reel. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the
pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This
means that the gears will stay in position under the heaviest
loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft
and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance
of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.
AR-C spool management system
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer
simulations, it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip
design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip
design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It
also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during
the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means
longer casts with less friction.
Hagane gear
Hagane gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength
and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in
minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision
durability.
The Rod
The new Shimano #KAOS Spinning Rod is designed
from the ground up by the team at Shimano NZ to suit New Zealand
species and fishing conditions. Featuring the new vibrant WINN
grips, this rod not only provides top end comfort, but also a
unique feel, only previously found in custom rod builds. The T45
blank construction, with its internal carbon wrap is used on
industry leading Toray carbon which creates a light, balanced and
crisp action with outstanding blank recovery. The #KAOS also
features Fuji soft touch reel seats and guides to highlight and
complete the whole aesthetics and quality of this class leading
rod. When it comes to lure fishing, whether it’s dropping Shimano
metal lures or casting softbaits and small top water lures, the
Shimano #KAOS has it covered.
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.
