SHIMANO NASCI REEL (MEDIUM SIZES)

Description

SHIMANO NASCI REEL (MEDIUM SIZES)

The new Shimano Nasci takes the technological features of its cousins, the Symetre, Aernos and Technium, and combines it all into one feature packed bargain. Sitting in the upper end of the entry level bracket, the Nasci sports features that more expensive models would be very proud to boast. The 4000 and the 5000 sizes are the genuine all-rounders. They provide anglers with incredible access to a huge range of species. The boat, the beach, lighter rock work as well as chasing river monsters like big Barra are all spots you will see the Nasci 4000 and 5000 deployed.

Features such as Hagane gearing, X-ship and protective benefits of Coreprotect are rare inclusions on a reel at this price. The compact 5000C also has a very fast ratio, seeing you well placed for some serious jigging, and casting metal surface slices at pelagic species. The beauty of these reels is that using them against Bream and Whiting around the estuaries is far from overkill. They are light, sensitive and will cast surprisingly light plastics very effectively when balanced with the perfect rod.

For the traditionalist, the AR-C spool will handle plenty of mono should you wish to fish live or flesh baits. Spool up either reel with braid however, and you can tackle some serious weight and aggression on all sorts of lures. Whatever your choice of line, you can be assured that the casting manners of the Nasci, thanks to the AR-C spool, are absolutely brilliant. Use the 4000 to cast slices for Salmon from the beach. Try the 5000 from the rocks. You will have more than enough power to drop baits for snapper, and actually land them.

Your choice will come down to speed and spool. Both reels offer a whopping 11kg of drag and have plenty of grunt. If you want to hit the sports action and jig the blue water near shore, the 5000 will give you this opportunity. To keep it light, yet still dominate much of the inshore grounds from Aussie Salmon from the beach, to Barra in the North, try the 4000. Wait a second, just make sure you’re completely covered and put both in your basket. It really won’t hurt your wallet at all.
