SHIMANO Nasci FD Spinning Reel

An accessible reel with remarkable performance

The Nasci range was designed to deliver performance worthy of high-end models while remaining perfectly accessible. Versatile by nature, it excels across many techniques thanks to smooth mechanics, careful line management, and great ease of use. It is an ideal choice for stepping up your game without exceeding your budget.

Smoothness and power at the heart of the design

The Nasci integrates Shimano's iconic technologies, guaranteeing smooth, stable and long-lasting rotation:

HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP

The HAGANE Gear, cold-forged from ultra-resistant aluminum, ensures robust and consistent power transmission over time. Combined with X-SHIP technology, it guarantees optimal gear alignment for powerful and smooth retrieval, even under heavy load.

Infinity Drive

Infinity Drive technology significantly reduces internal friction between the main shaft and the pinion gear. The result: increased retrieval power, better fish control, and lighter rotation, even under heavy load.

Silent Drive

Silent Drive optimizes every internal component to reduce vibrations and unwanted noise, delivering a particularly quiet and precise feel during operation.

Optimized line management and controlled casting

The AR-C spool promotes smooth and consistent line release, improving casting distance and accuracy. The Anti-Twist Fin system effectively limits slack and reduces the risk of wind knots, ensuring consistent and reliable line management. The One-Piece Bail guides the line with precision and reduces wear.

Lightweight, rigid and balanced design

The G Free Body repositions the center of gravity closer to the rod, improving the overall balance of the setup and reducing fatigue during long sessions. The high-rigidity resin frame effectively protects the mechanics while maintaining excellent lightness. The aluminum handle, rigid and flex-free, transmits all applied power.

Enhanced water protection

Thanks to the Coreprotect treatment (IPX4), the Nasci benefits from effective protection against water splashes and moisture, without compromising rotation smoothness. This non-intrusive technology extends the reel's lifespan, even in tough conditions.

A complete range for all fishing styles

Available in 12 models, from the ultra-compact 500 for finesse fishing to the powerful high-ratio 5000 for fast retrieves and long-distance fishing, the Nasci adapts to all styles and all skill levels.
