Casting reels recognised by all
Although not widely used in France, Shimano casting reels are proving to be highly sought-after products for predator anglers. In the USA and Japan, these quality models and this technique are widely used and are becoming increasingly popular for fishing in Europe with rods of the same type.
The brand has therefore developed and participated in the advent of this technique and its technology with its casting reels Shimano. Some of the big names are now internationally renowned, such as the Curado with its low-profile frame and the Calcutta with its round-profile frame.
You can count on products with highly resistant gears and bearings. They can be adapted to a wide range of fishing practices. You can count on them for fine bait techniques with specific bearings as well as big bait uses.
Spool sizes, brakes, handle shape and various technologies will guide your choice from our available stock. Capacity and retrieve speed should also be carefully considered before choosing a product delivery. Certain fishing techniques can impose very specific values to these data to remain totally effective and in adequacy with the lures used. You can choose from a light spool, sometimes a very shallow aluminium spool for baitfiness techniques or a deep aluminium spool.
For both sea and freshwater fishing, the renowned qualities of Shimano are sure to give you what you need to spend some quality time on the water.
Not all reels are sold in Europe. Recent developments in distribution in France should enable us to quickly offer you a selection available in stock similar to that in the USA, just like the rods.
Shimano spinning reels, a safe bet for both sea and freshwater fishing
It's the Shimano range of spinning reels that will be the best known in France across all brands. Some great names are in the minds of all anglers.
- Reels Shimano Stradic FK Size 1000 to 5000
- Reels Shimano Stella SW Size 4000 to 30 000 and its hagane frame
- Shimnao Nasci fb front drag reels Size 1000 to 4000
- Reels Shimano Aero Technium mgs Xtc Size 14 000 and its Quick Drag
- Front brake reels Shimano Ultegra FC Size 1000 to 5000
- Front brake reels Shimano Nexa FE Size 1000 to 4000
- Front Brake Reel Shimano Stradic FL Size 1000 to 5000 and its Hagane frame
- Front Brake Reel Shimano FX
These reels can be divided into two categories. On the one hand, there are models designed for freshwater fishing and, on the other, models designed for sea fishing. You'll need to study the characteristics to make the right choice.
The lightest models, such as the Shimano Stradic Ci4 reel, are more suited to lake and river fishing. Its construction around a fibre-rich alloy won't be very comfortable with the high pressures and power required for sea fishing.
In contrast, a twinpower XD of the same size will be much more metallic. It will offer a powerful frame with above-average strength, perfect for sea use.
You'll find several spool shapes for different uses, including aluminium shallow spools, compact spools, deep spools and quick drag models.
The retrieve speed is also important. That's why in the Shimano Nasci FB reel range you'll find two speeds per size available. This allows you to adapt to your technique, your rods and your preferences. The same applies to a large part of the range, with the nexave fe and the Shimano Ultegra reel.
Whether in the Shimano range of spinning reels with rear brake or front brake, you should be able to find a quality model to match the species of fish you're passionate about, combining power, low price, stock and fast delivery.
Reels for fishing trolling too
The brand has also catered for the most demanding anglers with its trolling Shimano reels; those who go in search of the biggest fish in the sea. Swordfish, tuna, sailfish, trevally and others that can be included in big game fishing or trolling.
To do this, you can count on know-how and technology that have once again been put to the test, but which nevertheless remain unchanged from one series to the next. Equipped with gears made from very solid materials, they will meet the most demanding requirements for managing a very large-diameter line.
First and foremost, construction is an essential element on which Shimano has focused. The result is not a hagane frame but a metal one, with a construction of immense strength. Often a one-piece monoblock, you can count on a reel that won't warp under pressure, unlike a less technical product.
The quality of the metal used is also an important aspect of trolling Shimano reels. Salt water is notorious for corroding metals. Reels are regularly at the forefront of this phenomenon. Shimano has provided optimum protection to ensure that your future purchases have real endurance, making it a reliable investment product compared with other brands.
Our range includes several sizes to suit all fish. The most advanced models come with several retrieve speeds. They are operated by a simple lever, ensuring total control of the fight, even when it is particularly intense with a line stretched to its maximum.
As you can see, choosing a reel or a product from Shimano is always a wise choice. The most expert lure fishing enthusiasts among you will be sure to find the expertise and technology they're looking for, while novices will find the assurance of a reliable product to help them discover the pleasures of lure fishing, always with fast delivery.
