Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Baitcast Reel
Durable and Stronger
The legacy of Tekota continues with the fully redesigned Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Baitcast Reel. This model introduces significant upgrades including CoreProtect water resistance for enhanced corrosion defense, an easily replaceable anti-fogging lens (on LC models), a loud clicker, and a new ergonomic S-Compact body design for improved handling and comfort.
Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is a high-rigidity metal construction that virtually eliminates flex under pressure, directly converting your effort into efficient cranking power.
S-ARB Bearings
Shielded on both sides, these bearings are engineered to resist salt and sand intrusion, ensuring smooth and reliable rotation in all conditions.
CoreProtect
This sealing technology provides critical water resistance in the roller clutch, body, and line roller—without compromising the reel’s light and smooth rotation.
Cross Carbon Drag
Offering a wider range of drag settings, the Cross Carbon Drag delivers Shimano’s smoothest performance along with superior durability.
