- CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies and rotors built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
- The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.
- The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
- The MicroModule Gear system creates a smooth retrieve by utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear. Ultimately, this produces a more efficient gear train with less of a gear feel.
- S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing and constructing a balanced and uniform thin-wall aluminum spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.
- Shimano's newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity, provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting, especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments when anglers need to adjust to the conditions or when they switch baits.
- S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano's A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing.
- Super Free Spool eliminates friction on the spool shaft during the cast. Standard baitcasting reels are constructed in a way that when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft. This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast. But baitcasting reels with Super Free Spool are constructed so that the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing. When the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. The result: zero friction is placed upon the spool shaft and enhances casting performance.
- X-Ship: X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.

I'm right handed. I do everything right handed... Bat right handed, golf right handed, write right handed...
I 100% prefer left hand reel over right hand reel baitcasters and I know I'm not the only righty on the lake throwing a left handed baitcaster at the bass.
A tip for people that have never used a baitcaster before. Get a decent one like this or you will not know if you truly like this style of fishing. I used a cheapo 50 buck ugly stick reel and rod combo to start. I hated it with a passion. Almost gave it up until a random guy at my local fishing spot told me I was never going to enjoy fishing with that rod. He let me use one of this extras for a bit and I have never used a spinning rod since.
My idea like probably everyone else that's new to it was buy a cheap one to see if it would stick. If it didn't then no harm in 50 bucks over 200. I should have put those 50 bucks into the better one to start. If you still aren't sure then find a used one on offer up.

Couldn't agree more on the tip. I started with a Lews Mach 2 combo, not the best but great, and learned the ropes fairly quick. Yeah tons of backlash but that was also a learning experience. I got a cheap Abu after to try out and what a difference. I use both spinning and baitcasters but casting a baitcaster is just more pleasant. Fiancée will roll her eyes when she sees this delivered lol always wanted a curado.

What you recommend for saltwater then?

Check out the Daiwa Lexa. Solid all around baitcaster.
Thirded… almost all practicality points to a right handed person using a "left handed" reel unless you cast holding the rod with your left hand. Cranking a reel with your dominant hand is much less important than holding the rod with your dominant hand. And who wants to swap hands after ever cast to reel?
Thumbs up for great reel at good price. These reels will last a lifetime properly cared for and regular maintenance.

Anyways, if they had this in left hand retrieve, I'd pick it up at this price without a second thought.

Gear ratio. This effects the speed of retrieve for different techniques.
