Shimano Miravel 4000XG Spin Reel

INTRODUCING CI4+ STRONGER & LIGHTER

Building on the foundations of Nasci FC, Miravel utilises a CI4+ body and side plate for significant weight reductions. Shimano's cold-forged Hagane Gear reel technology provides Miravel with unparalleled gear durability. With premium performance at the forefront of design, Silent Drive – the same technology found in Shimano's flagship Stella range – features in Miravel. This technology translates into smoother operation due to finer gear tolerances, less vibration and improved longevity. Purpose-built for finesse fishing in both freshwater and inshore saltwater environments, Miravel is backed by Shimano's CoreProtect water-repellent technology which increases durability and water resistance without creating a heavy winding feeling. Additionally, a screw in handle design has been adopted for added strength and convenience.

The Shimano Miravel 4000XG Spin Reel is a serious option for Kiwi anglers who are looking for a well-priced softbait reel that begins to introduce key technologies from a global leading brand. If you want to target both inshore & offshore reefs along with having the ability to chase Snapper over the sand this reel should not be overlooked. Also commonly used as a slow jig outfit or for dropping dead baits the 4000-size reel has always been a big seller within the Shimano ranks for its genuine versatility. The Shimano Miravel 4000XG Spin Reel is certainly one of the most sort after spin reels at that entry to mid-level price point! 

Shimano CI4+
CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used on many high-end Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.

G-Free Body
G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G-Free Body helps reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

HAGANE Gear
With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication, instead, the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and then formed by Shimano’s cold forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the fruit of Shimano’s inexhaustible pursuit for durability - the strength and power of forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.

SilentDrive Technology
SilentDrive Technology benefits from a total redesign of all functional parts focused on the drive gear, worm shaft and other parts. The goal: remove unnecessary noise and vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation.

X-Ship
X-Ship provides improved gear durability. Supporting 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. These further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.

CoreProtect
The concept of CoreProtect is simple - to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas of the reel the require protection; the roller clutch, the body and the line roller.
