Shimano 21 Antares DC baitcasting reel, normal gear (5.6:1), right-hand retrieve, domestic Japanese market model. This reel has been opened and used on one fishing occasion only. Following that single use, the reel was cleaned, stored in its mesh pouch, and returned to the original box. No line is currently spooled. Please refer to all photographs carefully to assess surface condition prior to purchase.

The reel body, side plates, handle, and spool all present in excellent condition consistent with a single-use item. The polished chrome and gunmetal finish retains its factory appearance with no significant scratches, marks, or corrosion observed on any surface. All electronic DC brake components and mechanical functions were verified as operating correctly during use.

The 21 Antares DC incorporates the flagship 4×8 DC brake system combined with the MGL Spool III, which reduces spool inertia by 15% compared to the previous generation while maintaining durability. The synergistic effect of these two technologies delivers exceptional long-distance casting performance with refined trouble-free behaviour across a wide range of lure weights. Additional technologies include Micro Module Gear for smooth and precise gear engagement, X-Ship for optimised gear positioning and load performance, S3D spool and Silent Tune for vibration suppression during high-speed rotation, and S-ARB double-shielded anti-rust bearings. The reel is saltwater compatible through improved plating and body finishing.

The complete original set is included: the original Antares DC box, the black mesh protective pouch, the lubricant applicator bottle, and the spare parts and documentation packet as supplied from the factory.
