Description
Step up your fishing game with the Shimano NASCI FD C5000XG — a spinning reel engineered to deliver premium performance without the premium price tag. It is more than capable of tackling our UK salt-water predators, the NASCI FD C5000XG blends cutting-edge technology, reliable construction, and ergonomic design to give you confidence cast after cast.
Smooth, powerful retrieves — Built around Shimano’s renowned HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP system, the NASCI FD C5000XG delivers exceptionally smooth and stable rotation, even under heavy loads.
Whisper-quiet operation — With Silent Drive technology, gear tolerances are refined to the micron level to minimize vibration and noise — perfect for stealthy approaches and cautious fish.
Balanced & fatigue-free casting — The G-Free Body design shifts the reel’s center of gravity closer to the rod, improving balance and reducing arm/wrist fatigue during long sessions.
Long casts, accurate line control — An AR-C Spool and Anti-Twist Fin ensure cleaner line lay and reduce line twist or slack, improving casting distance and accuracy.
Durable & weather-ready — Equipped with CoreProtect water resistance, the reel resists moisture and salt intrusion while maintaining a light, smooth feel — so you can fish confidently in freshwater or inshore saltwater environments.
Strength for serious fish — With a robust 11 kg (≈ 24 lb) drag, 6.2:1 gear ratio (about 105 cm/41 in per crank), and a 5+1 bearing setup, this reel delivers the torque and responsiveness needed to handle hard-fighting fish and heavier lures with ease.
Why It’s a Perfect Choice
The NASCI FD C5000XG sits at the sweet spot between beginner-friendly and advanced angler gear. It gives you many of the high-end reel traits — smoothness, power, durability, and precision — without requiring an elite-level budget. Its versatility makes it ideal for a variety of techniques: from finesse freshwater work to inshore saltwater casting. If you’re seeking a reliable, all-rounder spinning reel that lets you fish confidently across different conditions, this NASCI is an outstanding pick.
