Shimano Nasci FC Spinning Reels
Offering the performance and reliability Shimano is known for at an incredible value the Shimano 2021 Nasci FC Spinning Reels boast updated features and technologies often seen well outside of its price bracket. This versatile reel series is perfect for a wide range of applications in both freshwate...r and saltwater. This latest generation of Nasci Spinning Reels includes the same great features that made the previous generation a favorite of many anglers including the cold-forged HAGANE Gear technology that provides unparalleled gear durability compared to reels with diecast or machined gear construction. Also returning is Shimanos X-Ship and CoreProtect technologies to maximize winding power and keep your reels internals protected from the elements. New to the lineup of features is SilentDrive a technology brought down from Shimanos premier line of spinning reels. SilentDrive increases gear tolerances to a micron level to reduce unnecessary noise and vibration for increased reeling performance. With a size range spanning from ultra-light and ice fishing to a variety of inshore applications anglers of all varieties will be able to find the perfect spinning reel for the job. Engineered to perform with Shimano quality and attention to detail the newly redesigned Nasci FC punches well above its weight in typical Shimano fashion.Features:CoreProtect (Excluding 500)HAGANE GearSilentDrive (Excluding 500)X-Ship (Excluding 500)G-Free BodyCross Carbon Drag(C5000)Propulsion Line Management SystemWater-Resistant DragScrew-In Handle

I ordered two Nasci 3000s from Tackle direct on Friday morning. UPS said they would be here on Monday, but they arrived two days early on Saturday morning
WOW!!!! I went fishing on the Chesapeake on Sunday.
These reels are paired with Shimano 7ft 6in GLF Med/Hvy rods with 15lb Power Pro Slick line with 20lb Yo-Zuri Super Know leader. I was throwing a Aqua Dream 1/2oz…

spoon on one rod and a Zman DieZel minnow on a Zman 3/8oz Redfish eye.
These reels are super smooth and holds plenty of braid. The drag is very powerful. They are extremely quiet. They are super affordable as well. For the price of one Stradic, you can buy two of these. Comparing these to a Stradic, they are very close

For the price point it will be hard to find another reel as smooth or as capable as the Shimano Nasci. $110 is considered budget now a days for an inshore fishing reel its great to know Shimano still offers quality products at this price. Highly recommend.
Great reel for the price

I put 10lb Power Pro on it and paired it with a St. Croix TSR76MF Triumph Spinning Rod - 7 ft. 6 in. I immedialy noticed the difference in the length of the cast. I am happy I purchased this reel and expect it to last a long time with… read more routine maintenance.
