Reel SHIMANO Catana RC

Shimano Catana RC reel

A versatile spinning reel for freshwater

The Shimano Catana RC is a range of rear drag spinning reels designed to meet the needs of anglers looking for reliability, simplicity and versatility. Suited to many freshwater techniques, it effectively supports lure fishing, float fishing and feeder fishing.

Thanks to its robust construction and smooth operation, this reel is an excellent choice for targeting a variety of fish such as pike, zander, perch, bream or roach. It is suited to both beginner anglers and regular practitioners looking for a durable and easy-to-use reel.

Practical rear drag and precise adjustment

The Catana RC is equipped with a multi-disc rear drag, appreciated for its ease of access and precision adjustment. This configuration allows quick tension adjustment during the fight, an important advantage when the fish changes pace or makes unexpected runs.

This system makes the reel particularly comfortable for anglers who favour an intuitive grip, with direct control without having to change their fishing position.

Smoothness, durability and good line management

The mechanics of the Shimano Catana RC are built around 2 shielded stainless steel ball bearings combined with 1 roller bearing. This assembly promotes smooth and consistent rotation, while enhancing the reel's durability during frequent use.

Its cold-forged aluminium spool contributes to good line management, with smooth release during casts and clean retrieval. The ergonomic handle enhances comfort during use, particularly during long sessions or fishing that requires repeated animations.

A range suited to multiple uses

Available in several sizes, the Shimano Catana RC allows you to choose the model best suited to your technique and the power required. The 1000 and 2500 sizes are suited to light to medium fishing, while the 3000 S and 4000 models offer greater capacity for more demanding approaches or more powerful fish.
