Shimano Nasci FD combines consistent casting and smooth retrieves with high-efficiency reeling, thanks to the Infinitydrive, Anti-Twist Fin, and One-Piece Bail. Coreprotect water resistance adds lasting durability without sacrificing the reel's light, responsive feel. Designed to handle a wide range of conditions, it's an ideal choice for anglers who want reliable performance without packing multiple setups. Infinity drive - Powerful winding under heavy load. New drag design increases drag force while reducing pressure to produce up to 40% lighter rotation during tough battles One-Piece Bail - no snag line flow, allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm Anti-Twist Fin - Tangle free line control. Elastic polymer fin on underside of roller actively manages line tension to keep it securely seated on the spool, reducing tangles and enhancing casting performance Hagane reel design - a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. Hagane is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. Hagane is for all anglers Hagane Drive Gear - produced by Shimano's coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads X-ship gear provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures Silent drive - the basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and quiet reel rotation Core Protect - The water-repellent treatment provides water-resistance even in the presence of minute gaps due to the water bead formation effect. The water resist effect can be improved without increasing rotational resistance. Furthermore, since there is no contact, there is no abrasion and the waterproofing effect lasts longer G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler's hand, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort AR-C spool - The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance Cross carbon drag provides the smooth drag release and the durabilit Technical Specifications Reel size: 2500 Bearing count: 5+1 Gear Ratio: 5.0:1 Line capacity (m/mm): 160/0.25 Max drag: 9 kg Retrieve per crank: 73 cm Handle Length: 55 mm Weight: 235 g
