The Reel
The new Shimano Nasci 2500HG FC Spinning Reel is exciting and powerful with unparalleled gear durability. It features upgraded front drag, HAGANE gearing and X-Ship technology for improved power, performance and durability. The NASCI also equipped with the new CoreProtect technology on line roller that greatly improves water resistance and corrosion protection. G-Free Body positions the oscillation gear and the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod. It's a great choice for everything from light freshwater to medium saltwater applications.

HAGANE Gear
The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano's cold forging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers long lasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect rotation even under heavy loads.

CoreProtect
The concept of CoreProtect is simple - to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas of the reel the require protection; the roller clutch, the body and the line roller.

G Free Body
G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the centre of gravity closer to your hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.

The Rod
One of Shimano's most popular rod series is back with a fresh new look and feel! The Shimano Shadow X Canal Spinning Rod continues Shimano's dedication to producing superb quality rods at a genuinely reasonable price. It's a heavy duty rod built on T45 blanks, finished with top quality Fuji guides. Solid and reliable.
