Aldebaran DC Features:

• I-DC5 intelligent braking system allows anglers to adjust for optimal casting. The reel can be tuned for monofilament, fluorocarbon, or braided lines. Additionally, it offers settings for different lure weights: 1. Large lures, 2. Medium lures, 3. Small lures, and 4. Finesse lures. The "AUTO" mode lets the reel make adjustments automatically. With enhanced magnets, the I-DC5 system ensures smoother and more consistent braking.
• HAGANE magnesium frame: Forged for unmatched rigidity and durability, ensuring the reel withstands heavy stress. The forging process enhances the internal crystal structure of the metal, allowing for a lightweight yet robust design.
• Lightweight Magnumlite (MGL) spool starts spinning effortlessly, making it a joy to cast even the lightest lures.
• 10+1 S A-RB bearings: Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, A-RB bearings reduce friction and withstand harsh conditions. The sealed S-type bearings prevent dirt and debris from entering.
• MicroModule Gear: Cold-forged aluminum drive gear with ultra-fine teeth reduces friction and minimizes play for smoother and more sensitive operation.
• X-SHIP: Shimano’s X-SHIP technology ensures precise alignment of critical components for increased power and durability, making it easier to fight big fish.
• Cross Carbon Drag: Provides consistent braking force across the range with a wide adjustability for different fishing scenarios.
• Silent Tune: Reduces vibrations during retrieval for a smoother and quieter experience.
• S3D (Shimano Stable Spool Design): Minimizes spool vibration during casting for improved accuracy and control.
