The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power.
The maximum drag force that can be achieved by the powerful drag system with four pairs of CARBON CROSS WASHERS is 25 kg. With specifications comparable to the current BEASTMASTER 9000, it can handle intense fights with big fish in deep water.
Lightweight, highly rigid proprietary material.
The new material CI4+, an evolution of SHIMANO's proprietary CI4 material reinforced with carbon fiber, is used for the handle knob. It is lightweight and high-strength, and also improves the appearance grade.
High-strength clutch lever produced by SHIMANO's original technology.
This high-strength clutch lever is the result of our unique cold forging technology, in which metal is pressed under high pressure and finished with high precision without cutting.
 
The Rod:
An amalgamation of the vaunted Status Bent Butt and the classic Tiagra game rod, the Status Blue Water is purpose-built to offer the most competent offshore fisherman a price-conscious gamefishing rod capable of targeting the largest offshore pelagic and deep-water species. Featuring a Power-Carbon composite blank constructed from E-Glass and Graphite, the Status has massive hoop strength and durability while maintaining a comfortable bending curve. To compliment this blank construction, heavy-duty Seaguides have been used through the range while select models feature an AFTCO roller tip. A selection of both straight (Carbon Slick) and bent (Pac Bay) butt configurations are available depending on your application. The Status Blue Water is the perfect rod for those wanting to prospect deep structure with electric reels or target pelagic species with high-capacity game reels.
