Shimano Barchetta Premium
Shimano Barchetta Premium is a lightweight counter-equipped offshore reel designed for versatile light boat fishing, combining smooth winding, precise fall control and easy depth management. MicroModule Gear, X-SHIP and the rigid HAGANE Body provide smooth, stable winding performance under load, while CI4+ components contribute to a weight reduction of more than 30 g compared with the previous model.
The NEW Fall Lever incorporates a one-way roller bearing so fall speed can be finely adjusted without making the handle heavier to turn. Its wider lever with a recessed upper surface also improves fingertip control.
The improved digital line counter offers a wider viewing angle and displays depth as well as fall and retrieve speed, helping anglers reproduce productive speeds and target ranges. A Retrieve Distance Alarm measures distance from the start of retrieval and can provide audible notifications at multiples of a selected interval up to three times, allowing anglers to follow target depths without continually watching the display.
