- S Concept Represents Shimanos initial philosophy on which many of our spinning reels have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are Smooth, Silent and Strong.
- Super Slow Oscilation Lays the line perfectly onto the spool for the best line lay and castability.
- Slow Oscilation Lays the line in a parallel pattern for excellent castability and control.
- Maintenance Port A sealed plug that can be removed using a screwdriver to easily lubricate the drivetrain without disassembling the reel.
- S-Bail (available only on 1000 and 2500 models) A flexible spring material used in the bail assembly helps to avoid a bent bail wire situation.
- S-Arm Cam A protruding surface on the bail arm keeps slack line in contact with the line roller to reduce the chance of tangles and line cuts.
- S-Finish A multi coated treatment that produces an extremely durable, beautiful finish.
- S-Guard Protects the body of the reel from impact damage.
- S-Shield Body Rubber shields at the rotor and body prevent harmful sand or water from entering the drivetrain.
- S-Rotor Compact and lightweight to ensure a comfortable retrieve.
