Looks like a step down from the Biomaster reel as well.

 

It is a step down from the Biomaster, and I'm pretty sure it's 12kilos of drag....

 

Yea, it's 12kg (26.5lb) drag.

 

Is the Biomaster = Stradic or Sustain or neither ?

 

Played with this reel on the store, i think it's a replacement for the old Shimano Navi series.

Navi PG

They sell the acceration (PG and HG) for under $200 in asia, but i think the stradic is a much better reel, imho

 

A friend of mine that travels in Malaysia & Vietam picked up one of the Shimano Aceration SW8000HG's and gave it to me as a gift.

The instructions are in Chinese or Japanese which I doubt if I would need.

There are two items/parts in small clear plastic bags. Not sure if these are spare or needed for "some assembly required". One is 4 small black washers that appear like they would go on the shaft under the spool.

The other part is 5 transparent, thin plastic pieces maybe 1/2" x 1" that appear to have a peel off layer.

Can someone explain what these parts are for and possibly where I might get an English set of instructions?

Thanks,

John

Hi John, it could be a non-slip tape placed on the spool when using braid like on the stellas. Of course, the washers are for adjustment in the line lay placed on the shaft. It is indeed a JDM that is made in Malaysia.

That's right Mandaragat. That's the same explanation I got from Shimano.
