Shimano 20 Seihakou LTD RC83 Right Black Seabass Chinu Ikada

The Shimano 20 Seihakou LTD RC83 is the flagship ikada (raft) reel, engineered for the dedicated black seabream angler. It achieves an astonishing spool-free rotation, allowing even the lightest baits to fall naturally, and pairs this with upgraded winding power for confidently battling oversized fish. The reel's piano-black side plates and precision-machined spool reflect a meticulous blend of artistry and extreme performance.

Key features

• Near-frictionless spool-free rotation enables smooth descent of ultra-light baits like a single shrimp or two small cones.
• Upgraded winding power with added bearing on the handle shaft and a low-load roller clutch for tough fights.
• Choideashi (momentary) clutch frees the spool only while pressed, ideal for precise bait control in currents.
• Rigid 51mm long handle with an AL machine-cut knob provides a secure grip and powerful, stable reeling.
• Includes a premium semi-hard case and a spare spool for quick line changes between different fishing scenarios.

Best for

• Targeting black seabream (chinu) from a raft or boat with precise bait presentation.
• Mastering mid-water suspension techniques (chugiri) to synchronize groundbait and hookbait.
• Anglers needing a lightweight, high-control reel for finesse bottom fishing and strong currents.
