Shimano Big Pit Reels

Shimano gigantic pit / surf casting reels featuring a front drag have found favour with many experts including pike, catfish and carp anglers. And not forgetting beachcasters for whom they were originally designed. Their robust construction, enormous cranking power and enormous capacity spools make them brilliant for repeated long-range casting. With many advocates on the specimen and sea scenes, the Aerlex XS features Aero Wrap, long-nosed angled spool, gutsy 3.8:1 retrieve proportion and a very avid price point.

Spodding places more wear and tear on a reel than most freshwater styles, and the beefy Aerlex XS is the perfect tool for the job. These reels cast as well as they retrieve. Other features include chrome steel ball bearing, ergonomic Bio-Grip stem and robust, accurate front drag.

Shimano Baitrunner reels - still No1! The fact there are such a lot of pretenders is the sincerest form of flattery to Shimano's massive and continuing creativity in reel technology.
