Product description
The Bull's Eye is an extremely robust reel designed for long-distance surf fishing and rock fishing, especially at high casting weights or in difficult terrain. The extremely powerful gearbox, powerful line take-up and HAGANE metal body form the perfect combination for Shimano's strongest long-distance reel. When fishing in difficult terrain with heavy sinkers or over long distances from rocks, where a lot of power is essential to master the conditions, the Bull's Eye is the perfect solution. The Bull's Eye, which has achieved almost cult status around the world, is a long-distance reel whose performance has been increased without adding weight. At 540g, it is remarkably light for such a robust reel, making it a pleasure to use even in the toughest situations. Designed for strength and power, the Bull's Eye features super-strong HAGANE gears and X-SHIP. These two technologies provide the strength needed to handle tough situations, and the high torque of the 3.5:1 gear ratio means you can crank under pressure without the rod needing to help with pumping movements. But on lighter bottoms or over sand, the Bull's Eye still cranks in a respectable 84cm of line per crank. The remarkable lightness is achieved by using a robust and rigid HAGANE body made of aluminium. This not only protects the internal gears, but also provides a super strong frame that ensures everything is kept in perfect alignment. To maximise casting performance, the combination of Slow Oscillation, Aero Wrap II, Parallel Body and AR-C spool is hard to beat. The Hi-Speed Drag can be adjusted from fully closed (20kg) to a suitable setting for trolling with just one turn.
