Information

The drivetrain

Adds Shimano's Infinity technologies to the Magnum Light platform: Infinity Loop for denser line lay and less cast-release resistance, Infinity Cross for greater gear-tooth durability, and Infinity Drive's low-friction main-shaft bushing for a powerful retrieve under load in a genuinely light body.

What it's built for

A size run from the compact C2000S up to the C5000XG lets the same flagship-adjacent feel cover light finesse work through to bigger inshore and offshore lure and bait applications in one series.

How it fishes

Micro Module Gear II and X-Ship keep the retrieve smooth and quiet across the whole range, with HG and XG gearing options on several sizes giving faster line pickup where a technique calls for it.

Spools and spares

Match smaller C2000S/C2000SHG sizes to light spinning rods on 3–6 lb line, and step up through 3000MHG/4000-series to C5000XG for heavier lures, bigger fish and 10–20 lb line.
