CATANA 1000 FE SHIMANO Spinning Reel
The Catana FE is the latest version of a Shimano classic. Offering exceptional value for money, the Catana is a spinning reel that can be used for all types of fishing.
If you are looking for a reel at a very affordable price, the Catana FE is an option not to be overlooked.
Ideal for a wide range of fishing, from light and medium-sized lures to match and feeder fishing, its performance is remarkable for a reel at this price.
Pair the Catana with any entry-level or mid-range Shimano rod and you will get an excellent combination that you will be proud to own and use.
In use, you will immediately notice the improved balance produced by Shimano's G-Free body design.
This body design is found on the best Shimano reels and makes fishing easier over long periods.
The smoothness you feel comes from the combination of 3 Shimano stainless steel ball bearings and a roller bearing, which ensures reliable performance, even when fishing for big fish.
Like high-end Shimano reels, the aluminum spool features an AR-C design, which, combined with Varispeed II line lay, improves casting distance and accuracy, with both nylon and braid.
The hardest decision to make may be choosing the size of the Catana.
There are 7 models, including fast "HG" versions, ranging from the smallest size 1000, suitable for finesse fishing, to the largest size 4000, perfect for big lures and feeder fishing. Whatever your choice, the Catana guarantees you many hours of fun and excitement.
