Tekota's legacy of durability continues with the fully redesigned Shimano Tekota 500 A-HG Baitcast Reel. Vast improvements have been made, including Coreprotect water resistance to increase corrosion resistance, an easy to replace anti-fogging lens (LC models), a loud clicker and a new ergonomic S-Compact body design.
Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing. The result transforms your actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.
S-ARB
These bearings have been through the same process as our A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing's rotation.
CoreProtect
Total protection. The concept of CoreProtect is simple - to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas of the reel that require protection: the roller clutch, body, and line roller.
Cross Carbon Drag
This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
