Shimano Nasci FC Reels

The new Nasci FC series of spinning reels, answers the call for anglers demanding smoothness and durability in multiple fishing applications.

Suitable in both freshwater and inshore saltwater environments, the Nasci spinning reels feature CoreProtect to increase durability and water resistance, without creating an additional heavy rotational feeling.

The Shimano cold-forged Hagane Gear technology provides unparalleled gear durability, compared to reels with diecast, or machined gear construction.

Silent Drive — the same technology found in Shimano's flagship lineup of reels — increases gear tolerances to a micron level to reduce unnecessary noise and vibration for increased reeling performance.

More than just a support bearing, X-Ship is a combination of a cold forged main gear married with a brass drive gear. The two metals don't eat away at each other, providing longer lasting performance, as well as a smoother, more powerful retrieve. Shimano's X-Ship takes spinning reel technology to a whole new level. Anglers will experience increased gearing efficiency and power, providing for ultra-ligh handle rotation. By using a large diameter drive gear, moving the pinion gear closer to the center of the drive gear to provide 20% more power, and by supporting the pinion gear with two ball bearings, X-Ship provides a smooth, effortless retrieve, and also virtually eliminates the pinion gear twist and rotor flex common with most spinning reels when fighting a fish. X-Ship provides anglers with smoothness right-out-of-the-box.

Propulsion Line Management System: Propulsion Spool Lip, SR One-Piece Bail Wire, Power Roller III, Redesigned Bail Trip, S-Arm Cam - The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion spool lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that this new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design, while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off of the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. The Propulsion spool also utilizes a long stroke design to further enhance the casting distance.

Engineered to perform with Shimano quality and attention to detail, the newly redesigned series of Nasci spinning reels, will perform when needed most.
