If you are an angler looking for an affordable reel that is strong and durable without a large price point, then the Shimano FX reel is the one for you. The FX is an all-round spinning reel which replaces the previous FX, AX and HYPERLOOP reels whilst delivering the same quality that you would come to expect from the existing Shimano reels. This reel is the ideal choice for the angler who is just beginning with fishing or has a small budget, but still wants to fish with a reliable reel. There are a total of six different reels in the range, all of which provide the angler with a reliable and affordable fishing reel every time. In this segment, there are many poor-quality spinning reels on the market with ‘high specs’ (advertising with 10 ball bearings, etc). The FX has not 10 ball bearings, but it has the quality which Shimano is known for; strong and smooth Shimano gearing, aluminium spool and a strong XT-7 body. Regardless of whether you are opting for the Shimano FX 2500 Reel or opt for the 1000FC model, there are several options out there for you to choose from, all of which can help you get out catching fish even sooner with a durable spinning reel at an affordable price.
- 3+1 Bearings for smooth usage every single time
- Varispeed line lay for smooth casting
- Diecast aluminium for durable material
- Strong XT-7 body works with many different rods
