Shimano Antares B — flagship precision & versatility
With a history dating back over 20 years, Antares has always been Shimano’s flagship baitcasting reel series — and the latest Antares B continues the tradition. Featuring a lightweight magnesium body and advanced gearing, drag and casting technology, it’s built to meet the expectations of the most demanding anglers worldwide.
Where it truly shines
Antares can handle almost any lure you throw at it, but its real brilliance shows in finesse fishing. When you need ultra-light lures delivered with pinpoint accuracy, Antares redefines what’s possible — from finesse jigs and soft plastics to Ned rigs and bait finesse techniques. And when it’s time for crankbaits or swimbaits, the powerful drivetrain is ready to perform.
- Pinpoint control with ultra-light finesse presentations
- Powerful, stable retrieve for heavier baits when needed
- Confident fight control with super smooth Cross Carbon Drag
Technology that makes it happen
Antares delivers impressive casting thanks to SVS Infinity braking and the latest Magnumlite Spool (MGL IV). The spool is crafted from Ultra Duraluminium with an S3D design and benefits from Silent Tune to reduce micro-vibrations — helping you cast lighter baits with less effort and reach greater distances.
