Shimano Aernos FB reels
Five models in a new super lightweight threadline range perfect for day-long lure castingShimano says its new Aernos FB spin reels are a cut above their predecessors. The compact XGT7 body (a Shimano exclusive material that is apparently 200 per cent stronger than ordinary graphite) has been used to deliver a substantial weight saving, complemented by a compact body design.
There are five reels in the range -- 1000FB, 2500FB, 3000FB (pictured), a 4000FB, and an extra-compact 5000FB.
DC die-cast gearing, stainless-steel shielded bearings and a machined aluminium handle combine to make winding, even under load, as feather-light as possible.
Varispeed II delivers neat and uniform line lay, while the cold-forged AR-C Spool and its special lip design permits greater casting distances as well as preventing wind knots and backlashes from forming.
Additionally, each Aernos FB comes with a spare spool, so it's possible to carry another line breaking strain with you, or one filled with mono if that suits a particular fishing situation better.
