Shimano's 25 Antares sets a new standard for centrifugal-brake baitcasting reels. Through a refined spool size (37mm diameter, 21mm width) and the SVS Infinity braking system, it delivers smooth, elongated casts with minimal power loss. The Magnumlite Spool 4 with reverse-taper design, newly shaped line guide, and gear-optimized worm shaft work together for stable, balanced line lay and reduced spool vibration.
