Shimano Miravel Spinning Reels

The newest addition to Shimano's MagnumLite series of spinning reels, Miravel is a lightweight yet powerful reel with fierce versatility for the multi-species angler. Built utilizing Shimano's legendary carbon-infused CI4+ body to provide a lightweight platform and increased sensitivity, the Miravel also features Shimano's MagnumLite rotor to allow for an effortless startup and quick hooksets. Sporting a trifecta of Shimano premium reel technologies — cold-forged HAGANE Gear, SilentDrive and X-Ship — provides durable gearing with tighter tolerances for smoother reeling performance. Fish confidently with Miravel in hand, the newest member of the MagnumLite series is ready for the challenge.

Product Technologies

C14+

CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a
higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the
original C14 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving
lightness and rigidity, reel bodies and rotors built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and
weight.

COREPROTECT     

Total Protection, the concept of CoreProtect is simple: to provide water resistance
without creating a heavy rotational feeling. There are three key areas of the reel that
require protection: the roller clutch, the body and the line roller.

CROSS CARBON DRAG     

The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to
traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag
performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.

G-FREE BODY     

G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to
the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler's hand, the G-Free Body helps
to reduce fatique and enhance casting comfort.

HAGANE GEAR     

With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most
Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives
anglers the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that is felt when anglers first use a
reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during
fabrication, instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D-design
and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience.
HAGANE Gear is the fruit of Shimano's inexhaustible pursuit for durability - the strength
and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano
reels.

PROPULSION LINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM     

The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new
Propulsion Spool Lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer
simulations, Shimano's new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a
standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming.

SILENTDRIVE     

SilentDrive technology benefits from a total redesign of all functional parts focused on
the drive gear, worm shaft and other parts. The goal: remove unnecessary noise and
vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately
creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation.

X-SHIP     

X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with
bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the
gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship
technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further
benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter
lures.
