NEW Shimano 25 Antares 101, left-hand

Reel Antares B

Shimano Antares – the new flagship in a futuristic design

With the Shimano Antares B, Shimano presents a true high-end flagship among baitcaster reels with centrifugal brake. The striking, futuristic design not only gives a modern look but, thanks to the well-thought-out shape, also sits excellently in the hand.

The Antares B is not an ultra-light reel – at a weight of 210–215 g it stands for maximum robustness and longevity. It is designed for anglers who are looking for a reliable and powerful reel they can depend on for many years.

Precision, power & versatility

Despite its robust construction, the Antares B impresses with a finely tuned performance that delights even the most demanding anglers – especially when casting distance with smaller lures matters.

Whether finesse rigs, small soft baits on light jig heads, delicate hard baits for perch and black bass, or large crank- and spinnerbaits – the Antares B masters all challenges with impressive ease and precision.

Powerful gearing meets seamless smoothness

Inside works a Micromodule gear combined with X-SHIP technology. This interplay provides a powerful cranking feel with silky-smooth running at the same time – even under high load.

The HAGANE housing made of lightweight magnesium reliably protects the internal components and is at the same time torsion-resistant and durable. As the first Shimano baitcaster, the Antares B is equipped with the innovative Silent Drive technology – for an even softer and quieter cranking feel.

Maximum casting performance through state-of-the-art spool technology

The Antares B sets new standards in casting distance and spool stability. Responsible for this is the Magnumlite MGL Spool IV made of ultra-light duralumin. Its special, conically reversed construction reduces line friction and minimises vibration during the cast.

Additional technologies such as S3D design, Super Free Spool and Silent Tune provide improved spool rotation and reduce energy losses – for maximum precision and reach with every cast.

Technological highlights at a glance:

HAGANE concept – extreme robustness and longevity
Micromodule gear – silky-smooth running without compromising strength
X-SHIP – improved power transmission when cranking
HAGANE body – torsion-resistant magnesium housing for optimal protection
Silent Drive – for an optimised, almost silent cranking feel
MGL Spool IV – lower spool vibration, better casting control
Silent Tune – improved casting distance through reduced vibration
SVS Infinity – finely adjustable centrifugal brake system for perfect control
Cross Carbon Drag – powerful and at the same time smooth in the fight
Exciting Drag Sound – audible feedback when line is pulled off
S3D design – vibration-free casting and cranking
S A-RB ball bearings – sealed and durable
Super Free Spool – minimised friction resistance for precise casts

Shimano Antares B – for everyone who wants to see power, technology and innovation combined in one baitcaster. Whether delicate or powerful – this reel can do both. And with style.
