Open up technical games with Magnum Light Spool IV x I-DC5.
By miniaturizing the DC unit, we have succeeded in installing a DC brake on a small diameter spool. The synergistic effect of the low-inertia spool with a light start-up and the DC brake that controls the brake force in 1/1000 second increments allows for casting with low ballistics, long-distance casting performance, and excellent anti-backlash performance even with lightweight lures. The DC brake is equipped with the new I-DC5, which has evolved its control ability to a higher level of precision. In addition, the 15-stage multi-stage makes it easier to determine the best setting regardless of the type of line. The Magnum Light Spool IV, Silent Tune, and S3D spool reduce spool vibration and reduce power loss during casting. The design maximizes the rotation performance of the spool, further improving cast performance. The basic performance of the micro module gear, X-SHIP, and HAGANE body is also well-equipped. A new technical DC has been born, with versatility that can handle salt games such as black bass, black porgy, and light rockfish.
Equipped with Magnum Light Spool IV, which suppresses spool vibration with a reverse taper shape and enhances rotation performance.
Adopts Magnum Light Spool IV, which reverse tapers the spool shape and creates a well-balanced thread winding shape. By winding the line in a balanced manner, it suppresses shaking during rotation, brings out the rotation performance of the spool, and contributes to excellent casting performance. The spool size is small and narrow, with a diameter of 30 mm and a width of 19 mm. It exhibits low inertia and low vibration characteristics, achieving a light start-up. It covers not only pinpoint targeting at close range, but also long casts to search a wide area with high response.
A compact version of the high-precision I-DC5. A technical DC that has been refined to handle lightweight lures.
The high-precision brake mechanism I-DC5 has refined control capabilities and enabled more severe brake settings. The 25 Aldebaran DC successfully installed a DC brake on a small diameter spool. This brake system allows for 15 fine brake adjustments by combining a mode dial consisting of three levels: L (Low), M (Medium), and H (High) and a 5-level brake dial. Matching with a small diameter spool with low rotational inertia after winding the line makes it possible to set the line clearly and easily regardless of the type of line. The ability to respond to situations that were previously difficult to adjust has also evolved significantly, such as intentionally reducing the amount of line stock on the spool. It can handle a variety of situations and draws a low, smooth trajectory. That trajectory is the true essence of the 25 Aldebaran DC.
With its full basic performance, it can be used in a wide range of light game scenes.
The Magnum Light Spool IV reduces spool vibrations that occur during rotation, enabling smooth lure release without power loss. What solidifies its performance are two technologies: the S3D spool, which uses high-precision cutting technology to enhance quietness, and Silent Tune, which applies light pressure to the spool bearing to reduce vibration during high-speed rotation. The advanced technology generously poured into the spool area brings out the rotation performance to the fullest, supporting excellent casting performance. It also has a full range of technologies that control rigidity and stable winding, such as micro module gears, X-SHIP, and HAGANE body. It allows for delicate and technical lure manipulation, while providing stability during fights to support anglers. It is highly adaptable to not only black bass, but also saltwater games such as black porgy and light rockfish.
