Shimano's Soare BB represents the new BB model for Light Salt Game, developed to offer lightness, smooth retrieve performance, sensitivity, and greater reliability when using thin lines. The MicroModule Gear II and Silent Drive systems improve rotational precision and consistency, making it easier to detect subtle bites and control lightweight lures. The aluminum main shaft helps reduce overall weight and fatigue during long fishing sessions. The Infinity Drive and Infinity Cross systems respectively increase retrieval power and long-term gear reliability, ensuring consistent performance even under intensive use. The High Response Drag provides a particularly quick and progressive start-up, reducing the risk of line breakage during sudden runs. The Anti-Twist Fin helps reduce slack, line twist, and winding issues. The 45 mm long handle also makes it easier to maintain a constant retrieve speed while improving control and sensitivity. The range includes different configurations designed to suit the various applications of Light Salt Game. The Soare BB is therefore intended for technical, precise, and continuous use in modern light saltwater fishing.
MICROMODULE GEAR II
MicroModule Gear II uses extremely fine and precise gear teeth, developed to improve rotational smoothness and consistency. The increased precision in the contact between the gears reduces vibrations and irregularities felt during retrieval, providing a smoother and more direct feel. In Light Salt Game, this feature is particularly important because it allows slow and steady retrieves to be maintained even with very lightweight lures. The increased sensitivity also makes it easier to detect changes in line tension, lure contact, and subtle bites. The system therefore helps improve precision, control, and sensitivity throughout every stage of fishing.
SILENT DRIVE
Silent Drive is designed to minimize play, gaps, and vibrations within the drivetrain components. Every element involved in rotation is optimized to improve precision and stability during retrieval. The result is an exceptionally smooth and quiet rotational feel, allowing the angler to focus more closely on lure behavior and changes in line tension. In Light Salt Game, where even the smallest signals can indicate a bite, this increased consistency helps improve overall sensitivity. Combined with MicroModule Gear II, the system delivers a precise, stable, and uniform retrieve.
INFINITY DRIVE
The Infinity Drive system reduces friction within the drivetrain and improves retrieval efficiency, allowing the reel to maintain smooth and powerful rotation even under load. The main shaft structure is designed to limit internal resistance during rotation and reduce the torque required for retrieval. This helps maintain greater control during the fight, especially when using thin lines or when unexpectedly hooking fish larger than the usual target species. The system also maintains a light and consistent retrieve feel during prolonged use. Infinity Drive therefore contributes to increased power, smoothness, and overall efficiency.
INFINITY CROSS
A technology developed to increase gear durability and reliability. The tooth geometry improves the contact surface between the drive gear and pinion gear, distributing the load over a wider area. This reduces concentrated stress and the wear that can develop during frequent and prolonged use. In Light Salt Game, which involves repeated casting, continuous retrieval, and frequent speed changes, this added durability helps maintain smooth rotation over time. Combined with Infinity Drive and HAGANE Gear, the system contributes to a stable, precise, and durable drivetrain.
HIGH RESPONSE DRAG
High Response Drag is a drag system developed to provide a particularly quick response to sudden changes in fish speed. The drag starts smoothly and progressively, avoiding abrupt increases in line pressure during a run. This characteristic reduces the risk of breakage when using thin lines, which are common in aji, mebaru, and other Light Salt applications. Tension also remains stable when the rod is loaded, making it easier to control the fish and reducing the risk of losing it during the fight. The system therefore allows anglers to use light setups while maintaining a high level of confidence and control.
ANTI-TWIST FIN
The Anti-Twist Fin is designed to improve line control when retrieving under low tension. The special fin positioned near the line roller limits excess slack and reduces the risk of the line slipping away from the line roller or dropping below the spool. In Light Salt Game, this function is particularly important because the use of lightweight lures and thin lines can easily create low-tension situations during casting, lure manipulation, and retrieval. The system therefore helps reduce line twist, uneven winding, and spooling issues. It provides greater consistency and reliability during repeated casting and retrieving sequences.
Models
C2000SSPG
A standard model for Ajing, with a size 1000 body and a weight of 180 g, designed to offer balance and versatility. The gear ratio supports stable lure depth control and a smooth, consistent action. It performs well in harbors, estuaries, rocky shorelines, and pebble beaches. It is compatible with a wide variety of rods, rigs, and light setups. Ideal for anglers looking for a versatile and precise Ajing reel.
C2000SSHG
A High Gear model dedicated to Light Salt Game, with a size 1000 body and a weight of 180 g, developed for faster and more dynamic fishing. The high-speed retrieve makes it easier to work the lure quickly and produce sudden changes in action. It is particularly effective for daytime fishing and situations that require fast lure manipulation. It also performs well in strong currents, deeper water, and windy conditions. It is recommended for anglers who prioritize operational speed, responsiveness, and improved line control.
