Description / Shimano FX Spinning Reel

The Shimano FX Spinning Reel gives anglers a reliable solid Shimano reel at an unbeatable price point, these reels are great for anglers of every skill level and can be used for a variety of different methods including spinning, float fishing and feeder fishing.

The FX comes equipped with a roller clutch that will prevent the handle from winding backwards, this is great for newer anglers as it prevents the line from tangling on itself whilst you are fishing. These reels also come with Shimano’s incredible ARC spool technology, this spool design has a slightly angled lip which allows the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils. This results in much more accurate casts at long distances. The ARC spools are also proven to help reduce backlashes and wind knots when using a braided mainline. This is excellent for anglers of all skill levels as it will help you reach hard to fish areas with ease and help to keep you fishing instead of untangling knots in your line.

This reel sports two ball bearings and one roller bearing, this gives this reel a very smooth cast and retrieve making it a pleasure to fish with for any angler. These reels also feature Varispeed line lay technology which consists of two specifically designed gears one in an oval shape and the other is in a square shape. This allows for the best possible line lay on the reel resulting in less friction giving you the ability to gain more casting distance and accuracy.

The body of this reel is made from the XT-7 material, this material provides exceptional durability and a lightweight frame. The spool is made from a die cast aluminium and the handle has been made from a die cast zinc material, all of this together makes an incredibly lightweight reel that will not fatigue you when casting all day that can handle the bumps and scrapes that come with fishing with ease.

This reel comes with a stunning gold spool and a stylish matt black composite body and is finished with an oversized handle that provides you with extra grip whilst fishing. This handle is excellent for fishing in wet conditions allowing you to stay in control when you’re fighting a fish much more easily.

Here at Angling Active we like to use the smaller sizes of the Shimano FX reel for targeting trout, perch and a range of silverfish using a float. We like to use the bigger sizes for targeting species like pike and other predators.

The Shimano FX Spinning Reel is available in a range of sizes for you to choose from, comes in a gold/black colour scheme and does not come with a spare spool.
