Shimano AERO CI4 Plus

Shimano introduced the compact body/long cast spool Aero 4000SPA last year, and this season there are two exciting 'up-spec'd' versions - the CI4+ 4000 and CI4+ 4000HG.

These make use of Carbon Interfused Technology to keep the body and rotor light yet strong, as well as X-Ship, a long-cast AR-C spool for improved casting performance, and Aerowarp II for neater line lay and no wind-knots on the cast.
