<p>The Shimano Aero is a stunning front drag reel that sits perfectly in the middle of the Aero Match range. Offering versatile performance for float and feeder anglers, it features an anti-reverse function and Shimano's leading gear group. The elegant and understated graphics are perfectly suited to the ranges of Shimano Aero rods. If you are a competitive angler fishing float or feeder and want a high quality reel to give you the edge over your rivals, the Aero is the solution. Offering class leading value for money, there are three sizes (C3000, 4000, C5000) to choose from depending on your needs and the size of rod you are using. With their super smooth waterproof drag and an added anti-reverse feature, you can fish straight off the drag when using stronger lines or reeling in backwards when using thinner lines, or using a combination of both, with the confidence that you have the undeniable Shimano quality at your fingertips. Inside the Aero's understated XT-7 G Free body is Shimano's Hagane Gear and X-Ship system, enhanced by Silent Drive. This combination is renowned for its powerful performance and long lasting reliability, ensuring the reel maintains its peak performance almost indefinitely, even when fishing with large feeders or catching huge weights of match sized carp. Other features that stand out are the AR-C spool made from cold forged aluminum for better casting, plus a handle that screws directly into the main gear for "backlash-free" immediacy. Each model features a line reducer to reduce reel spool capacity making all models perfect for both mono and braided lines and a round metal clip that can be used for accurate casting performance.</p>

<p>This reputation for reliability and versatility lives on in the all new Stradic FM, the latest addition to Shimano\'s line of CoreSolid spinning reels. Showcasing reel technologies handed down from Shimano\'s flagship spinning reels, the redesigned Stradic FM adds InfinityXross technology for unmatched durability and gear synergy by extending the gear tooth horizontally to distribute the load across the tooth of the gear more evenly. This combines Shimano\'s heritage of cold forged HAGANE gears for increased strength with the refinement of MicroModule II for the ultimate winding experience. The addition of InfinityDrive offers light turning and more starting power under load, while the new Duracross Drag system offers the smooth performance of felt with up to 10x longer life. Shimano's X-Protect water repellent coating and specially designed water channeling labyrinth structure ensure a lifetime of reliable performance by blocking water penetration in key areas without adding a heavy rotation feel. The new Anti-Twist Fin - a supple polymer on the underside of the reel - improves line handling for anglers fishing monofilament or fluorocarbon lines. The brand new Stadic FM, the most complete Stradic in a long line of performances.</p>
