Shimano FX FC Spinning Reels Reviews
Perfect little bay reel

I purchased four of these perfect little bay reels for flounder fishing. I pair it up with a short ugly stick and have a great time. Its perfect for guests kids and myself. If one breaks or fails I throw it away and grab a new one. I would recommend it for any small bay fishing.
Solid reel for a very low price.

Overall a solid reel for the price that you pay. So far I have no complaints, the bail flipped on me while I was casting once but that was only one time. Drag on the reel is more than you'll need for most fish but good to know you have it just in case. Perfect for a small lightweight rod set up.

Pleasantly surprised

Using this reel exclusively for Bass on a medium action rod. Works great most of the time. When it doesn't work well, the spool seems to bind making retrieve very difficult. Haven't been able to identify why this occurs but it always resolves itself after some time off. Next time will buy one or two models up in price/quality

<span>Hi Dustin, The Shimano FX FC Spinning Reels are only designed for up to 12lb monofilament for the 4000 size model. If you go over this amount your line capacity would be significantly decreased. Instead I would recommend a Shimano NEXC5000HGFI Nexav

<span>Hi Sean, The Shimano FX FC Spinning Reels have a instant anti-reverse. This is operated as soon as the handle becomes tightened on the sideplate. There is also a switch under the spool that when flipped it should allow the anti-reverse to lock into
