[IOS Factory] Line Roller IMPACT for SHIMANO *SPLN

By improving the rotation of the line roller, retrieve sensitivity is improved, line trouble is reduced, and line is wound in alignment on the spool no matter what the line tension is, resulting in excellent stable release when casting and improved distance with good guide nuke. This is a custom line roller.



The rotation can be confirmed by the movement of the well-designed dot holes, which rotate even with the weight of the line when the lure is not attached.

In reality, the line roller does not turn only when a fish hits, but it must always turn, even when dealing with line slack or when retrieving a lure with very little resistance, or it will wind twisted line onto the spool.

When casting, those lines can be released all at once, which can lead to backlash and other problems as well as reduced casting distance.

A line roller that does not turn not only significantly reduces retrieve sensitivity, but can also trigger various problems such as reduced casting distance and line trouble.

The IOS Line Roller Impact is a completely new concept line roller that utilizes line yaw, which is inevitable for spinning, to improve the flying distance and winding sensitivity of SHIMANO reels.





Color




Ice Silver (Salt-compatible)
The cool silver color goes well with silver-based reels.


Ion Gold (Salt-compatible)
The elegant, slightly subdued bronze-leaning color scheme is a versatile color that goes with any color.
It is particularly well matched with black reels.


Blue (Salt compatible)
The bright blue color is a perfect match with silver reels.


Red (Salt compatible)
Vivid red is an excellent match for dark or black reels.



Purple (Salt compatible)
Matching blue and black reels are particularly compelling.


Paraiba Blue (Salt compatible)
The color is inspired by the miraculous gemstone, Paraiba tourmaline, a color that blends in wonderfully with any reel.
It is especially good with light metallic reels.


Gunmetal (salt compatible) New color for 2020
The semi-gloss gunmetalic color coordinates with black reels to create a unified and more modern look

*Caution

The Line Roller Impact is a custom part that enhances the rotational performance of Shimano reel line rollers and can be used to replace line rollers with CoreProtect specifications, but CoreProtect is a line roller that is waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion resistant, and may be less durable than genuine line rollers with CoreProtect. Please note that the durability of the Core Protect line roller may be inferior to that of the genuine line roller with Core Protect.

Please be sure to install the correct one for your reel when you purchase.

If the size does not fit, not only will the product not perform well, but in the worst case, it may not be able to be installed.

When the line roller is attached, there is some movement of the main unit up and down.
Please note that the gap is only necessary to reduce line yawing and improve performance.
However, a rattle or gap that is so large that the line enters the gap is abnormal, so please feel free to consult with us.

In addition, when the reel with the rotor attached is turned too fast, rotor shake may occur.
This may not be a concern on a normal lure retrieve, but please understand that this is also a concept that prioritizes rotational performance.

Installation Example








How to install

1 Remove the arm fixing bolt (line roller screw) securing the bail arm (line roller), and remove all line roller units.



For 14 STELLA C200s


For CARDIFF CI4 C200s


2 If the unit is dirty or greased during installation, clean it as necessary.


3 Insert the genuine arm fixing shaft into the bail arm, and assemble the bail arm with 0.5mm shim, bearing, 0.65mm shim, line roller main unit (top and bottom are the same), bearing, 0.5mm shim, and the genuine line roller receiving plate (some do not have) in this order, applying IOS oil. Apply IOS oil while assembling.


For 14 STELLA C2000S


For CARDIFF CI4 C2000S


For 10 STELLA C2000HGS


For TWIN POWER XD C3000HG, 4000XG, etc.


For 18 STELLA 1000 to 4000, the genuine black pedestal is not used.
Instead, set two 0.5 mm shims at the bottom.
Fixing is done with line roller IMPACT screws.


*Please read
If there is no genuine plate at the bottom of the line roller, two 0.5mm shims can replace the genuine plate. For reels without a plate, set two 0.5mm shims at the bottom.
For 18 STELLA, the genuine pedestal is not used.
Set two 0.5mm shims at the bottom.


4 Finally, fasten the supplied stainless steel screws to secure.
Note that over-tightening will deform the aluminum bail fixing shaft and prevent it from turning.
Also, be sure to check the slackness of the screws before and after using the reel.
There is a risk of parts falling.


5 Check the operation of the bail arm and the rotation of the line roller.
If rotation is poor, check if the parts are assembled correctly, for example, if 0.65mm shims are not inserted.

If there is rotor shake after reeling, check to see if it is not fixed with the genuine screws, and fix it with the stainless steel screws provided.


Daily Maintenance

Line rollers also lose rotational performance as they become dirty.
Periodic overhaul should be performed.
The oil to be applied should be IOS 01 or 02, depending on use and durability.
Always check for slack in the screws before and after using the reel.
There is a risk of parts falling.
