Gear up and get ready to fish!

The Reel
With a line capacity of 300m for PE 2.0 lines and 200m for PE 3.0 lines, Shimano Plays 600 Electric Reel is a model for light game fishing. Albeit being an electric reel for light game, the power and speed of this reel is comparable to the higher end electric reel models Shimano has to offer. Featuring Super Free Spool, Raku-Raku mode, Heat Free System and Super Slow Retrieve, this reel is 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.

Quick Return Clutch
The clutch can be switched on and off with a single touch of the thumb holding the rod. Frequent and repetitive movements such as catching fish and bottom tracing become smooth and painless. In addition, the clutch can be switched instantaneously, allowing you to fight nimbly without missing the right moment to make a move.

Raku Raku Mode
Winding with constant tension to match the load on the reel. It's effective when you use thin line, targeting fish with soft mouths or eat upward.

Fixed Speed Mode
Maintains and winds a constant speed regardless of the magnitude of the load applied to the reel. It's effective when you want to increase the winding power.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The Shimano Backbone Heavy Overhead Slow Jig Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that's bound to please.

At the core of the Backbone is a blank that features Shimano’s legendary TC3 construction, the same 3-Ply graphite weave technology the early Tiagra game rods were built on. The result is a lightweight and sensitive blank with exceptional lifting power and durability. To effectively leverage this, reliable componentry has been used throughout the build. Aluminium Oxide Seaguides provide trouble-free line management with both monofilament and braided lines, while graphite reel seat and slim EVA grips provide optimal comfort and performance. You can rest assured, when selecting a slow jigging rod from the Backbone range that you have a purpose-built rod designed specifically for your fishing application.
