Shimano Nasci 500

Shimano Nasci FC — technology from further up Shimano's range, at a mid-range price.

Cold-forged HAGANE gearing gives the Nasci the durability Shimano's flagship reels are built on, and SilentDrive tightens tolerances on every moving part so the retrieve is genuinely quiet and free of play. X-Ship supports the pinion gear at both ends, keeping gear mesh true under load and improving both cranking power and casting distance.

The 500 is the smallest in the range — an ultralight reel for trout, panfish and finesse presentations on light line.
