Shimano 26 Nasci FD C5000XG

A Powerful & Versatile Spinning Reel for Bass, Pike, Walleye & Freshwater Fishing

The Shimano 26 Nasci FD C5000XG is a versatile spinning reel designed for anglers who need more power, faster line recovery and greater line capacity for a wide range of freshwater applications.

With a 6.2:1 gear ratio and an impressive 105 cm of line recovery per crank, the C5000XG is particularly well suited to techniques where quickly picking up slack line is important. Its 11 kg maximum drag provides plenty of stopping power for larger bass, pike, walleye and other freshwater predators.

The C5000 size also offers more capacity than a traditional 2500 or 3000-size reel, making it a great choice for heavier spinning applications, larger soft plastics, swimbaits and moving baits.

This reel is brand new.
