There's nothing like the feeling that you get when you use quality equipment when you go fishing -- and Shimano fishing reels are some of the highest-quality fishing reels that money can buy. So sit back and relax while I take you on a mini-shopping trip --
Our first stop in the sporting goods department is to stop and take a look at the Shimano Sahara FB SH4000FB Spinning Reel. This Shimano fishing reel has a suggested price of just under $60 ($57.99). It features a cold-forged aluminum spool -- and a spare spool is included. This Shimano fishing reel also features their "floating shaft" to reduced friction and ensure a smooth cast. It will hold 240 yards of 8-pound test line or up to 160 yards of 12-pound test.
For those who prefer baitcasting, there is the Shimano - Curado 200DHSV Baitcasting Reel. This is a premium-quality and Shimano fishing reel (priced at $199) and that uses a Magnumlite spool to provide superior line control when casting. This Shimano fishing reel also makes use of a Variable Brake System to enhance your casting. Even the handle grip on this Shimano fishing reel is specially manufactured to be comfortable -- and it won't get slippery if it gets wet.
If you need a baitcast reel but can't afford to shell out big bucks, you should look into purchasing the Shimano Coriolis Baitcast Reel. Priced at only $59.97, this Shimano fishing reel features a Super Stopper anti--reverse mechanism, and a four-stainless steal bearing operation. It will hold up to 150 yards of 12-pound test line -- this Shimano fishing reel would be perfect for the baitcasting fishermen who needs to upgrade their equipment.
I don't know about you, but when I go spin fishing, I prefer to use a fishing reel with a rear drag mechanism -- I find it easier to adjust a rear drag "on-the-fly" when I'm trying to land my catch. If you need a spinning reel with a rear drag mechanism, then the Shimano Sidestab Rear Drag Spinning Reel, Model SI-2500RE may be just what you are looking for. This Shimano fishing reel features that all-important rear drag, a lightweight graphic body with an aluminum spool. The fishing reel uses a three stainless steel ball bearing mechanism and is also reversible for both right-handed and left-handed users.
If you are saltwater fishing, you know you need it -- dependable equipment that can handle everything that those big monsters can dish out! A great Shimano saltwater fishing reel is the Calcutta 300TE Baitcasting Reel. Priced at $339, this Shimano fishing reel features an extremely durable forged-aluminum frame with a level-wind mechanism, super stopper clicker, variable brake system and high efficiency gearing. This baitcasting reel will hold up to 240 yards of 12-pound test line.
