Description
The Shimano Catana FE is the latest version of a Shimano classic, offering exceptional value for money as a freshwater and in-shore saltwater spinning reel suitable for all kinds of freshwater fishing. If you are looking for a freshwater spinning reel at a very affordable price, the Catana is one option you should not ignore. It suits a wide range of fishing, from lightweight and medium sized lures to match and feeder fishing, and its understated appearance is matched by performance that is remarkable for a reel at this price. Pair the Catana with any low or mid-priced Shimano rod and you have a great combination.
In use you will immediately notice the improved balance produced by Shimano's latest G-Free body design. This body design is found on the very best Shimano reels and makes fishing easier over a long period of time. The smoothness comes from a combination of 3 Shimano Stainless Steel Ball Bearings plus a Roller Bearing, which ensures trouble free performance even when playing the largest fish. Like top of the range Shimano reels, the aluminium spool has an AR-C design, which combined with Varispeed II line lay improves casting distance and accuracy with both mono and braided lines.
Perhaps the most difficult decision is which Catana size to choose. There are 7 models, including fast speed HG versions, ranging from the smallest 1000 size suitable for lightweight finesse fishing up to the largest 4000 size, which is perfect for larger lures and heavy feeder fishing.
