Shimano Navi XSB Reel

Shimano Navi XSB Reel, Don't be fooled by the exceptional price of the new Navi XS-B. With a large capacity cold forged aluminium spool, AR-C line management, Aero Wrap II and 2 speed oscillation, both the 7000 and 8000 models are distance casting reels with great pedigree. Featuring 1 shielded stainless steel ball bearing and a roller bearing, the Navi is a slick performer on medium and large waters for carp, pike and catfish as well as making a superb medium to long distance surf casting reel. Finished in a metallic silver with contrasting black detail the Navi looks equally as good as it performs and makes an excellent option for anglers wanting casting performance combined with affordability. Dyna-Balance: Reduces reel wobble and allows produces ultra-smooth performance. Super stopper II: With the reel set in anti-reverse mode you'll find zero free-play on the handle. Unerringly positive every time, its practical benefits include micro increment settings of quiver tips or specialist bite indicators and faster hook setting. Hypergear: This precision-engineered main gear transmits more power from the handle to the rotor. Designed to exacting tolerances, it requires less effort but returns more retrieve/playing torque with vastly reduced component wear. In fact, all reels offer a breathtaking 90.3% efficiency, which makes them not only feel great, but in years to come they'll still be quietly purring. Easy Maintenance: An easy and efficient way to keep your reel working at optimum performance. This feature enables direct lubrication of the reel's inner workings - without having to take it apart. A small oil lubrication port can be found on each of the S-system reels which, when removed, enables you to apply manufacturer approved lubricants to the inside mechanism. Instant Drag: The Instant Drag system allows you to adjust the clutch from free spool to fight in only a few turns. In the interests of fish safety & the environment, please ensure that you do not exceed the breaking strain of the mono/braid when tightening the drag. Power Roller: Significantly reduces line twist during the retrieve and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid. AR-C Spool: A spool design with a V-shape spool lip ensuring that the line comes off the reel in smaller loops for further and more accurate casting. The AR-C spool will minimise the risk of backlash. Varispeed: Good quality line lay. Shimanos revolutionary Varispeed System consists of two specially designed gears. One is oval and the other a remarkable square shape! Floating Shaft II: The key friction area on most fixed spool reels is where the spool drive shaft meets the pinion. Shimano designers have overcome this by reducing a large percentage of surface area contact, and incorporating bearings on either side of the shaft. The resultant design leaves the shaft in a "floating" position, considerably improving efficiency and longevity.
