Shimano Saros 4000F Spinning Reel

SR One-Piece Bail
This one-piece bail wire has no gap forline to snag on during normal operation. Made of stainless steel, itreuces friction and allows the line to get onto the line roller quicker.

Slow Oscillation
This oscillation system is more advancedthan Aerowrap, which uses a criss-cross line lay to reduce friction.Instead, slow oscillation uses a tightly packed parallel pattern toreduce the chance of the upper layer of line grabbing the lower layer,creating unwanted friction. The result is an evenly shaped linelay,with excellent castability and control.

Aerowrap
This two-speed oscillation system layers the lineonto the spool in acriss-cross pattern that reduces line-to-linefriction for longer casts. Aerowrap reels utilize a worm gear designtomove the spool upward quickly and downward slowly to wind the line in aprecise pattern, reducing friction and giving smoother, longer castingability.

Fluidrive II
Building upon the successes of Fluidrive, whichprovides extremely tight tolerances and control in the cutting process,Fluidrive II polishes the gear surface to maximize tooth contact. Thisincreases the efficiency of the retrieve for more power with lesseffort.

Septon Handle Grips
This handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet.

Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement
Paladin Gear DurabilityEnhancement Spinning Using a special cold forged aluminum drive gearand a hardened brass pinion gear, reels equipped with the Paladin GearDurability Enhancement will retain their out-of-the-box smoothness muchlonger than before. In fact, testing has shown that this combination ofmetals is more durable than an all-stainless steel drivetrain whilemaintaining the smoothness that Shimano is famous for.

Waterproof Drag
With the use of rubber gaskets, the dragis protected against intrusion of the elements, such as water or sand.

Direct Drive Mechanism
The drive gear is directly attached tothe handle, which means power is transmitted more efficiently with lessvibration while increasing durability.

Super Stopper II
Super Stopper II anti-reverse uses aone-way bearing that eliminates backplay.This provides the angler withinstant hooksetting power. In some reels, the Super Stopper II can beturned off toallow backreeling for special techniques and situations.
