Shimano Nasci 2500FB + Catana Nano 7'3" Combo

NZ$269.99

Shimano Nacsi 2500FB HG Spin Reel

Imagine taking all the best features of Shimano’s legendary Symetre, Aernos and Technium spin reels, combining them into one super spin reel series with some high tech’ accoutrements — well that’s what you get with the new Nasci spin. They feature X-Ship, where the pinion gear is supported by bearings for better cranking power and torque, Coreprotect, which is a water repellent surface treatment on the line roller and clutch roller, and they have G-Free bodies, so the centre of gravity is moved closer to the rod and the worm drive oscillates at a slower rate for more compact line lay. The big inclusion for a reel at this price point though, is the cold-forged Hagane Gear, where improved mesh transition leads to increased strength and durability.

Shimano Sedona 4000 FI XG and Catana Boat Spin Combo

NZ$219.99

The combo includes the feature-packed Sedona reel, paired up with the strong and reliable Catana rod. Durable, versatile, and feature-packed, this combo is all you need to get your next trophy catch!

The Reel

Your favourite Sedona reel just got an upgrade. The new Shimano Sedona 4000 FI XG Spinning Reel is now built with Hagane Cold Forged Gearing - a reel design concept that gives you the power to fight big fish with confidence. Double anodised machine cut aluminium spool allows for increased line capacity and the Propulsion Line Management System for longer casting distance. This reel is suited for both fresh and saltwater action. Upgrade your gear today!

HAGANE Gear

Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision durability.

Propulsion Line Management System

The new Propulsion 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 of the spool in smaller loops during the cast which means less slap on the stripper guide.

Varispeed

By using an oval oscillation gear, Shimano is able to alter the speed of the oscillation cam to provide a consistent spool speed. This results in an even line lay that provides excellent castability and manageability.

S-Concept

Smooth, Silent and Strong. Smooth rotation and comfortable retrieve, couple with excellent drag performance and longer casting distance, leads to smooth flawless operation. Silent operation of parts within the reel's construction represents the attention to tight tolerances, reducing excessive noise and resulting in the silent operation of the reel. Strong, solid and functional construction leads to powerful torque and durable drivetrains.

Shielded Anti-Reverse Bearings

These bearings have been through the same process as the A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings' rotation.

Aluminium Cold Forged Spool

These spools provide strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.

The Rod

The Shimano Catana Soft Bait Spin Rod is every bit as sharp as the sword it's named after. This rod is built with a tough graphite blank, Hardloy guides, split EVA butt assembly plus graphite reel seat. This rod is perfect if for flicking soft plastic lures for Snapper.

Shimano Stradic 4000FK and Shadow X Nano Softbait Combo

NZ$399.99

Shimano Stradic 4000FK and Shadow X Nano Softbait Combo. The Stradic reel features increased gearing efficiency and power for smooth and effortless action. The matching Shadow X Nano rod provides great strength and sensitivity. Great for flicking softbaits at hungry Snapper.

The Reel

The Shimano Stradic 4000FK Spinning Reel is simply a delight to use, with better balance in the hand. It features the X-Ship, which not only makes the fishing experience much more enjoyable with ultra-smooth retrieves, but also gives you more grunt when cranking in those larger saltwater species.

Every part has been designed to improve your experience on the water. The sleek G-Free body provides a better weight balance to reduce fatigue. Plus, the presence of Coreprotect on the roller clutch, the drag, the body and the line roller, indicate that this reel is going to be perfectly at home in the world’s harshest environment — saltwater. Whether you're casting light Rapala lures to Trout, softbaiting the wash or micro-jigging for Snapper, the Shimano Stradic 4000 FK Spinning Reel eats it up!

Hagane Body and Gears

The new Shimano Stradic FK reel is enhanced by its Hagane Body and Hagane Gears, complementing the G Free Body design for better all-round performance. With amazing strength and durability, the Hagane gear is at the very heart of this reel - giving long-lasting smoothness and feel. Its entire surface is calculated in minute detail by 3D and formed by Shimano’s cold forging technology. And what's more, the reel’s rigid Hagane body is impact-resistant which virtually eliminates flexing – transforming each action into cranking power.

X-Ship

Together with the Hagane cold-forged drive gear, Shimano combined X-Ship technology which results in a smooth, powerful and durable reel. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means that the gears will stay in position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.

The Rod

Here comes a new challenger! The Shimano Shadow X Nano Spinning Rod is made with high-quality components without the premium price tag. It features Nano graphite blank for durability and custom EVA grip for a more comfortable hold. Plus, it's fitted with Fuji reel seats, Fuji rubber gimbals and the new Fuji MNOG guides - components that you can only get from expensive rods. Get ready to do some serious fishing!
