Shimano NEXUS Reflect Floating Vest Limited Pro VF-112R BB-X White

To evolve fishing movements with clothing. The development of a new three-dimensional pattern design began with a thorough analysis and verification of the angler’s movements during actual fishing. In fishing where various fields such as breakwaters, surfs, and boats are expected, the surf that requires the most variety of fishing movements such as throwing, pulling out, squatting, walking is set in the field. In a harsh environment where movements are easily restricted for anglers, we thoroughly examine what happens and what is lacking. After trial and error with a sensor attached to the whole body, the three-dimensional design “COREACT” was developed to optimize the fishing movement. So, what kind of benefit does “COREACT” bring to the angler in actual fishing? Mr. Heiwa, Shimano Iso Instructor who was involved in the development, said, “For example, the jacket of rainwear does not stretch when arms are raised. As a result, the arms and shoulders stretch and it is easier to cast a long distance. The pants have less cramped feeling when crouched, and various movements are smoother. The floating vest is used when winding reels and devices. It’s easier to handle the movements.” “COREACT” is reflected not only in clothing, but also in the shoes at your feet, further improving the ease of movement on the beach.

“COREACT” is now being deployed in various fields where comfortable movement is required. In boat fishing, we focused on squid fishing, which has a lot of movements (plazuno mechanism), and divided the movements in each phase to verify the problems. By suppressing the feeling of pressure on the shoulders and elbows, the followability of the wear in the shaki movement is improved. For ease of movement, field tester Mr. Matsuda said, “For example, even if it is a big shrimp, you can move your body without pushing or crispness. You can raise squid with your arm high when collecting the tackle, but you can not move your armpits too. It can be done smoothly.” In addition, Mr. Hotta, a pioneer of flatfish games on the surf, said, “The surf waders of “COREACT” are significantly different in walking ease. There’s no stress when going up and down the stairs to and from roots in the sea, so the comfort of a day’s fishing is totally different.” Furthermore, Mr. Shimada, an instructor who mainly fishes sea bass wading, said, “The total ease of movement is reflected from the wader to the game vest and the jacket. The sea bass wading can withstand water pressure while walking a long tidal flat or crossing a fast flow. It is difficult to feel the burden on them because the overall balance is good. The impression is that they reached 100 points.” “COREACT,” which is said to change the conventional concept. Its ease of movement makes all fishing comfortable.
