The Shimano Nasci FD is a versatile, easy-to-use reel that delivers premium performance without the premium price tag. Engineered for both fresh and saltwater, it’s equally at home chasing bass and trout as it is seabass or light shore jigging.
At its core, the Nasci FD features Shimano’s renowned HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, and AR-C Spool technologies for smooth, powerful retrieves and outstanding casting. COREPROTECT adds water resistance without increasing rotational weight, ensuring long-lasting durability in all conditions.
Borrowing advanced features from Shimano’s higher-end models, the new Nasci incorporates INFINITYDRIVE, a ONE-PIECE BAIL, and an ANTI-TWIST FIN to deliver enhanced rotational sensitivity, toughness, and trouble-free line management. The result is a reel that raises the bar for anglers looking to step up their game.
Technology & Features:
- HAGANE Design
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 enjoyment that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again.
- X SHIP
X SHIP provides improved gear performance. Large diameter drive gear, optimally positioned pinion gear and drive gear, and two points bearings supported pinion gear produce light reeling under load.
- INFINITYDRIVE
INFINITYDRIVE is a new main shaft supporting structure that improves winding torque and allows for incredibly smooth and light rotation.
- SILENT DRIVE
The basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and quiet reel rotation.
- ANTI-TWIST FIN
Elastic fins are installed in close proximity to the line roller section. By suppressing line slack, the fins reduce the phenomenon of line dropping out of the lower part of the spool and line wrapping around the spool while the line is still twisted.
- CORE PROTECT
The water-repellent treatment provides water-resistance even in the presence of minute gaps due to the water bead formation effect. The water resist effect can be improved without increasing rotational resistance. Furthermore, since there is no contact, there is no abrasion and the waterproofing effect lasts longer.
- 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.
- AR-C SPOOL
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 provides the smooth drag release and the durability.
- ONE PIECE BAIL
ONE-PIECE BAIL allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
