Casting

The PENN Senator needs no introduction. First launched in 1936, the Senator Series has endured the test of time. The Senator is world- renowned for being a universal, respected star drag reel.

Aldebaran MGL offers paramount lightweight performance. The MGL Spool allows anglers to cast small baits with ease. At 4.8 ounces, the Aldebaran MGL is the lightest reel in the Shimano lineup, giving anglers all-day comfort.

Shimano engineers designed Antares 100 B to deliver exceptional casting performance and smoothness, setting a new standard within the Shimano baitcasting reel lineup. The series features innovative braking and line management technologies unique to this flagship series, offering anglers advanced precision and control. To achieve ultra-low spool vibration and maximize casting distance, the Antares 100 B integrates two cutting-edge technologies: the MGL Spool IV and the SVS Infinity braking system. The MGL Spool IV's new reverse-taper design addresses line winding issues that often cause unbalanced spool rotation and vibration. The SVS Infinity system uses internal centrifugal force to adjust the braking based on spool speed — applying more resistance at the start of the cast and less as the cast progresses. This combination minimizes backlashes and enhances casting distance, particularly with light lures. In addition to its sleek, futuristic look, the Antares 100 B boasts ergonomic features like a compact, palm-friendly magnesium HAGANE Body and a redesigned clutch for effortless operation and improved spool access. Now available in North America in a versatile 100 size with both HG and XG right and left-handed models, the Antares 100 B is ideal for anglers seeking the pinnacle of technology and performance in a baitcasting reel.
