SHIMANO - NEXAVE FI - SPINNING REELS
Shimano’s redesigned Nexave FJ spinning reels blend style, performance, and comfort. Featuring G-Free Body for reduced fatigue and Anti-Twist Fin for better line control, Nexave also includes SilentDrive for smooth rotation and the Propulsion Line Management System for longer, more accurate casts. Whether chasing your first catch or a trophy, Nexave delivers reliable performance.
This model is ideal for lure fishing and can be used by beginners with ease. Smooth rotation supports sensitivity to bites, high rigidity supports powerful retrieves, and trouble-free operation comfortably supports a series of actions. The NEW NEXAVE is equipped with advanced technologies such as the SILENTDRIVE, which thoroughly eliminates rattles, and the ANTI-TWIST FIN, which suppresses line trouble. The lineup ranges from 1000 to C5000 sizes, targeting bass and trout in freshwater, as well as light sea fishing, sea bass, and surf in saltwater. SHIMANO's reliable quality is now available at a more affordable price point.
FEATURES
Performance Beyond Its Class
With a sleek black finish and carefully integrated features from premium models, NEXAVE exudes a sense of quality that defies its price point. Shimano’s uncompromising approach to product design is fully embodied in this reel. The new 26 model introduces advanced technologies such as SILENTDRIVE, ANTI-TWIST FIN, and a switchable stopper mechanism—further refining smooth rotation, rigidity, and trouble-free performance.
From casting to retrieve and fighting fish, every motion has been polished to deliver practical performance approaching higher-end reels. Backed by Shimano’s trusted quality, NEXAVE elevates comfort and confidence for anglers at every level.
Uncompromising Body Design for Strength and Durability
Like other versatile Shimano models, NEXAVE makes no concessions in body design. Its rigid body, constructed from high-strength resin, minimises flex, while the handle is engineered to resist bending—delivering rigidity equivalent to the NASCI. Built tough to match modern fishing styles that rely heavily on PE lines.
Innovative Spool Design for Smooth, Trouble-Free Casting
Spool performance is critical for reducing line trouble and achieving a satisfying casting feel. Shimano’s AR-C Spool features an innovative shape that optimises line flow, ensuring precise line stacking and minimising backlash. During casting, it enables smooth line release, improving casting distance by approximately 15% compared to reels without AR-C Spool.
Compatible with nylon, fluorocarbon, and PE lines, AR-C Spool provides reliable, comfortable casting across all line types.
Guides beautiful line winding
The newly equipped ANTI-TWIST FIN helps ensure the line picked up by the bail is wound smoothly and beautifully. Issues such as slack line dropping off the spool skirt or overflowing can occur when retrieving slack, potentially causing backlash on the next cast. By integrating this small resin fin beneath the line roller, the line maintains optimal tension without slack. In synergy with the AR-C Spool, this feature helps suppress line troubles
Delivers smooth winding feel
One of the new features of the 26 NEXAVE, SILENTDRIVE, is a technology that delivers a smooth winding feel.
To eliminate even the slightest play, gaps, and resulting noise between components, the entire body design and drive-related parts have been carefully refined. Improvements have been made to the drive gear, worm shaft, oscillating gear, and more, resulting in greater stability during spool oscillation and when stopping retrieval. This achieves smooth rotation performance and a quiet, refined winding experience.
