The Shimano 22 Kisu Special 45 Gokuboso is a premium surf casting spinning reel designed specifically for competitive and long-distance surf fishing. Developed for targeting Japanese whiting (kisu), this high-performance reel focuses on extreme casting distance, lightweight operation, and precision control.
Engineered in Japan, the reel features a large 45 mm stroke spool that maximizes line release efficiency and improves casting distance. The specialized Gokuboso (ultra-fine line) spool is designed to work optimally with thin PE braided lines, allowing anglers to achieve long and accurate casts with minimal resistance.
The reel is built with Shimano’s advanced internal engineering to ensure smooth and stable operation even during repeated long-distance casting. Its balanced structure reduces vibration and improves control, making it ideal for technical surf fishing situations where precision and consistency are essential.
With a lightweight body weighing only 400 g, the reel provides excellent handling and reduces fatigue during extended fishing sessions. The smooth drag system offers up to 20 kg of maximum drag force, delivering reliable performance when fighting larger fish from shore.
Designed for serious surf anglers, the Shimano 22 Kisu Special 45 Gokuboso offers exceptional casting performance and refined mechanical precision.
