Why choose the Shimano Nasci FD C5000XG?

The Nasci FD C5000XG is an interesting choice for anglers who want a modern, smooth and strong Shimano reel without moving into very high price ranges. Compared to the 4000XG, it offers greater line capacity and a size more suitable when using heavier lures or fishing in demanding spots.

The fast 6.2:1 retrieve helps maintain contact with the lure, quickly recover slack line and better manage fast fish or strong currents.
