Shimano Aero XR Front Drag Reel

Aero XR Front Drag Reel

The Shimano Aero XR is a technically advanced match and feeder reel containing all of the attributes required by top competition anglers. These include an anti-reverse facility, lightweight CI4+ body and rotor, and advanced HAGANE gearing for peerless performance.

With their super smooth waterproof drags, and an additional anti-reverse facility, you can play fish directly off the drag when using stronger lines, by back-winding when using fine lines, or by using a combination of both.

The smallest 3000 size is perfect for all float fishing and close range feeder fishing, while the mid-sized 4000 is ideal for larger float work or mid range feeder work. With a G-Free CI4+ body and rotor all models are remarkably light, with the 4000 size weighing only 250g, which is a noticeable reduction compared to competitor models of the same size. An additional advantage which you can feel is the precision of the lightweight rotation, which is a result of the CI4+ Rotor construction and the HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, Silent Drive technology.

Additional features include the best AR-C Cold Forged Aluminium spools, (including a spare spool) with a line reducer to reduce the line capacity of the reel. Power is delivered by a very direct screw in handle and a metal line clip, that is strong and line-safe, reinforcing the XR’s feeder fishing pedigree.
