Shimano's Antares B is the latest generation in Shimano's legendary baitcasting reel series, boasting over 20 years of history! This new "B" model continues the tradition of excellence, combining a sleek, futuristic design with an ultra-light magnesium body that houses precision gearing and state-of-the-art casting technology. Designed for maximum versatility, it's available in three gear ratios to suit both finesse fishing and the use of heavier lures. The Antares B excels in precision fishing, enabling anglers to cast ultralight lures with pinpoint accuracy, perfect for jigs, soft plastics, ned rigs and other light techniques. At the same time, its powerful drive system easily handles crankbaits and swimbaits, delivering smoothness and strength in any situation.

This means less effort when casting, greater accuracy, and longer distances, even with light lures. Inside, the HAGANE body houses MicroModule gear and X-SHIP technology, providing seamless and quiet power transmission while maintaining stability and efficiency under heavy loads. The Cross Carbon Drag delivers a progressive and consistent drag, while the Exciting Drag Sound adds realistic and engaging audio feedback during the fight. With its perfect balance of lightness, power, silence, and precision, the Antares B is built for the most demanding anglers who want a reel capable of excelling across all techniques, ensuring professional-level performance for years to come.
