Shimano Antares DC (4x8) Japan Version

Antares DC, the long sought after digital control brake version Antares (Calais in the US) is now in market.

The DC brake system has been proven to offer the longest casting distance, since the release of Conquest DC in 2003. The new Antares DC has the improved 4x8 DC system to have 4 casting modes(L, M, A and W) and 8 strength of fine adjusting, which is adjustable by dial without opening the reel.

　

The 4 modes set the brake to appropriate for various casting situations.
bullet Long casting (L); Achieving the longest casting distance with relatively heavy, metal rigs in calm wind condition.
bullet Multi (versatile) casting (M); The mode is the most likely to be used among the 4 modes. Suite the best for top water, crank baits, spinner baits and etc.
bullet Accuracy casting (A); Brake force is the strongest among 4 modes, offering stable brake tension. Useful for pitching and skipping.
bullet Windy casting (W); Allow the best casting in winds from ahead. Great for bulky, light baits as well.

DC7 has 7.0:1 super high gear system to pick up lines as fast as possible. The master gear is now about 50% larger to offer the smooth cranking and durability.

LV models have long, 84mm handles.
