Japan is famous for many things, being at the forefront of technological development is one of them. Shimano is a company with a 100-year history that has long ceased to be a local company, having entered the international market and founded subsidiaries all over the world. Shimano is a very diverse multinational manufacturer, with the main focus on three markets: cycling components, fishing tackle, and rowing equipment. Some might say those spheres are hardly related, but Shimano proves that a reliable manufacturer is good at everything.
Even though bicycle components constitute around 70-80% of the company’s sales, Shimano fishing tackle is quite famous in angler circles. All thanks to unparalleled quality and wide choice. The company has been dealing in fishing equipment since 1970 and has managed to gain quite an expertise in this field. Shimano reels are the company’s forte, appreciated by anglers for their innovative and last-for-a-lifetime design.
Shimano Spinning Reels
Shimano spinning reels are on the company’s best-selling product list. Good enough is never the final stop and Shimano always finds a way to further improve the fishing experience. Shimano Stradic FL features the company’s own innovative MicroModule Gear II that brings rotational smoothness and power transfer to the level unseen in any other reels of this price category. Shimano Exsence is another flagship reel, loaded with all features of a premium quality product. A perfect fit for light tackle and bass anglers, this reel is durable to withstand the harsh influence of the saltwater environment without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation.
Shimano Baitcasting Reels
Even if slightly less sought-after, Shimano baitcasting reels are as well-made as their more famous siblings. Shimano Tranx 500 features an innovative design that combines the compactness of a low-profile reel with the functionality of a conventional one. Shimano Chronarch series includes casting reels fit for top-level performance tournaments and enthusiast anglers alike.
Shimano Spinning Rods
If you are looking for quality surf casting rods, consider taking a look at Shimano Tiralejo. When paired with a corresponding reel, it allows for casting at previously unachievable distances.
And this is still not an exhaustive list of what you can find on Gritr Outdoors. We also have Shimano shoes, fishing bags, and several other brand items that might be of interest to you.
