Shimano Nasci 4000XG FC Spin Reel

THE BENCHMARK OF AFFORDABLE

The Nasci series sets the benchmark for affordable and quality spinning reels. Now incorporating a range of upgrades at a great price means you can step up your fishing game and gear quality for less. The cold-forged Hagane Gear technology provides unparalleled gear durability and Silent Drive which is the same technology found in Shimano's Stella range now features in the Nasci. This makes it smoother due to finer gear tolerances, reduces vibration and improves the longevity of the reel. 

Suitable in both freshwater and inshore saltwater environments, Nasci Spinning Reels feature CoreProtect water-repellent technology which increases durability and water resistance without creating a heavy winding feeling. The ball bearing count has been also increased to 5+1 and a new screw-in handle design has been adopted to complement the new stunning silver cosmetics.

The Shimano Nasci 4000XG FC Spin Reel is a great all-round size for Kiwi anglers who are looking to target both inshore & offshore reefs as an aggressive Softbait reel to chase XOS Snapper. Also commonly used as a slow jig outfit or for dropping dead baits the 4000-size reel has always been a big seller within the Shimano ranks for its genuine versatility. 

G-Free Body
G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G-Free Body helps reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

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 pleasure that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication, instead, the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and then formed by Shimano’s cold forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the fruit of Shimano’s inexhaustible pursuit for durability - the strength and power of forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.

SilentDrive Technology
SilentDrive Technology benefits from a total redesign of all functional parts focused on the drive gear, worm shaft and other parts. The goal: remove unnecessary noise and vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation.

X-Ship
X-Ship provides improved gear durability. Supporting the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. These further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.

CoreProtect
The concept of CoreProtect is simple - to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas of the reel the require protection; the roller clutch, the body and the line roller.
