REEL - SHIMANO - NASCI 5000XG FC

The Nasci range combines modern design with Shimano's unrivaled engineering excellence. The plain, monochrome gray body has subtle chrome accents and is a compelling proposition for anglers looking for a versatile mid-priced reel.

With the latest understated look and affordable price, if you're looking to upgrade your reel to a mid-priced version, or are looking for an additional reel for another set-up, the Nasci is a great choice. The G Free Body's sleek silhouette and understated appearance are exceptionally attractive and certainly belie the price tag of this well-designed range. And in use you will be equally impressed. The Nasci does everything so well, with minimal effort. The lightweight Ci4+ body balances the rods superbly well, the spin is smooth and powerful and the front drag is responsive and smooth.

Internally the Nasci features HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP, two of Shimano's key engineering technologies. These combine to produce a smooth and powerful rotation, which is extremely efficient when under pressure and will also ensure that your reel continues to work at peak performance almost indefinitely. The addition of the latest Silent Drive technology takes performance to an even higher level, with silent operation. There are 12 models in the range, starting from the ultra small size 500 designed for lighter fishing, up to the size 5000 which features an extra fast retrieve ratio, making it perfect for long distance fishing with crankbaits. Casting is improved by the combination of a flawless spooling system and an AR-C spool and additional protection from water is provided by the Coreprotect (IPX4) on the needle roller and roller bearing. You can combine the Nasci reel with the excellent range of Nasci fishing rods to get an economical and high-performance combination.
