Shimano Nasci FC Spinning Fishing Reel (Model: NAS500FC)

Features

• Hagane reel design built to withstand continual use and extreme abuse
• Hagane Gear provides long lasting smoothness and ultra durability through 3D-design and forged metal process
• G Free Body technology shifts the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod helping reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort
• Special spool ring provides suppression of line trouble and long casting performance
• Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, smoothness and durability

The new Nasci series of spinning reels answers the call for anglers demanding smoothness and durability in multiple fishing applications. Suitable in both freshwater and inshore saltwater environments, Nasci spinning reels feature CoreProtect to increase durability and water resistance without creating an additional heavy rotational feeling. The Shimano cold-forged HAGANE Gear technology provides unparalleled gear durability compared to reels with diecast or machined gear construction. SilentDrive - the same technology found in Shimano's flagship lineup of reels - increases gear tolerances to a micron level to reduce unnecessary noise and vibration for increased reeling performance. Engineered to perform with Shimano quality and attention to detail, the newly redesigned series of Nasci spinning reels will perform when needed most. Note: The Nasci 500 (NAS500FC) does not include the following features: CoreProtect, SilentDrive, X-Ship.

Hagane
HAGANE is 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 Gear
With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication, instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D-design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the fruit of Shimano's inexhaustible pursuit for durability - the strength and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.

G Free Body
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.

Propulsion
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
The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.
