Shimano Aero Reel

Shimano Aero Reel

The Shimano Aero is a reel that delivers excellent performance in feeder or match fishing at an attractive price. Aero reels pair perfectly with a wide range of Shimano rods, especially the Aero Feeder/Match models (best balanced with the Aero X1 and Aero X3 models). If you're looking for a reel for match or recreational fishing that meets the highest demands, the Aero is the right choice. Additionally, it features an advanced and improved Anti-Reverse system that provides extra help during the fish fight.

Feeder anglers will immediately appreciate the metal line clip, which greatly assists in casting. The reel body is made of XT-7 G Free material and is equipped with Cold Forged Hagane Gear technology and the X-Ship system. This long-tested combination further enhances casting performance and long-term durability of the entire unit, ensuring the reel maintains its efficiency. Features also include the AR-C Cold Forged Aluminium spool, which further aids in casting and line protection. The handle screws directly into the main gear for high control during the fish fight. For anglers who may still be unsure about the Shimano Aero, each model comes with a reduction gear to reduce spool capacity, making all models suitable for use with both monofilament and braided lines.

Hagane Gear technology provides incredible strength and durability. It contributes to the smooth and precise operation of the internal gears. Instead of cutting the gear teeth, the entire surface is carefully calculated through a special 3D design and then formed using Shimano's patented cold forging technology. G Free Body is an innovative technology that repositions the center of gravity closer to the spool, significantly reducing hand fatigue during fishing. Also, the ARC Spool ensures the line comes off in smaller loops, enabling longer and more accurate casts while minimizing friction between line and spool.
