Description
When beginning anything, Shimano engineers know it’s important to start with a solid base. The Shimano Corvalus 400 is built on a one-piece diecast aluminum frame that will stand up in battle. Add Super Stopper anti-reverse for solid hooksets and our Variable Braking System (VBS) for easy casts, and there will always be a place for Corvalus in every angler’s armory.
Features / Technology
A-RB Baitcasting
Shimano Corvalus 400 uses A-RB stainless-steel ball bearings that are specially treated to drastically increase the corrosion resistance of the bearing, these bearings will last at least 10 times longer than standard stainless-steel ball bearings in high salinity environments.
HAGANE Body Baitcasting
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
VBS Baitcasting
VBS uses centrifugal force, rather than magnets, to aid in controlling the cast. When turned on, the individual brake weights are forced outward at the beginning of the cast — when backlashes most often occur — to create friction that reduces the speed of the spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure with which the brake weights contact the raceway lessens and allows the spool to continue spinning.
