This Shimano reel is poised to be the new basic of powerful electric reels, with a body that has been redesigned to be low profile, enabling the user to control with a single hand. The Thumb Rest Clutch and Quick Return Clutch further enhances your handling of the reel while the Muteki Motor greatly increases the power and speed.
The Plays 4000 is more suited to larger species and features a massive 50kg of max winding strength. With a line capacity of 300 m for PE 2.0 lines and 200 m for PE 3.0 lines, the Plays 600 is a model for light game fishing. However, being an electric reel for light game, the power and speed of the 600 model is comparable to the higher end electric reel models Shimano has to offer.
A smoother and stronger drag is achieved with Carbon Cloth Washer and the newly added function Instant Stop allows the angler to instantly stop retrieving with just a press of a button.
The Shimano Plays 4000 is also equipped with Magnetic Control System, that reduces backlash by utilizing the magnetic field generated by the high RPM spinning of the spool during descent.
Featuring Super Free Spool, Raku-Raku mode, Heat Free System and Super Slow Retrieve, both Shimano Plays Electric Reels are packed with technology and functions an electric reel should have. With a CI4+ knob which fits snug when held and a 65mm handle, cranking becomes a comfortable task for anglers.
