Shimano Miravel Spinning Reel - Size C5000XG

Shimano Miravel Spinning Reel - The newest addition to Shimano's MagnumLite series of spinning reels, Miravel is a lightweight yet powerful reel with fierce versatility for the multi-species angler.

Built utilizing Shimano's legendary carbon-infused CI4+ body to provide a lightweight platform and increased sensitivity, the Miravel also features Shimano's MagnumLite rotor to allow for an effortless startup and quick hooksets. Sporting a trifecta of Shimano premium reel technologies — cold-forged HAGANE Gear, SilentDrive and X-Ship — provides durable gearing with tighter tolerances for smoother reeling performance.

Fish confidently with Miravel in hand, the newest member of the MagnumLite series is ready for the challenge.

Technologies

• CI4+ - CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies and rotors built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
• Cross Carbon Drag - The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.
• Hagane Body - The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
• X-Ship - X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear is eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.
• CoreProtect - Total protection, the concept of CoreProtect is simple: to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotational feeling. There are three key areas of the reel that require protection: the roller clutch, the body and the line roller.
• G-Free Body - G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of cravity closer to the angler's hand, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enchance casting comfort.
• Propulsion Line Management System - The most obious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion Spool Lip Design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, Shimano's new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming.
• SilentDrive - SilentDrive technology benefits from a total redesign of all functional parts focused on the drive gear, worm shaft and other parts. The goal: remove unecessary noise and vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation.
