The Shimano Catana FE Spin Reel have been revamped for 2022 with a new body and cosmetic design. The Catana is designed for anglers who are looking for a high-quality reel at a reasonable cost. There are four reels in the re-launched Catana FE range, from 1000 to 4000 sizes. The 2500, C3000, and 4000 sizes have a high gear retrieve ratio from 5.8 to 6.2:1 thanks to the presence of zinc DC gears. The Shimano Catana is perfect for freshwater, estuary and light offshore applications, the larger of the Catana reels can produce up to 8.5kg of drag power. The Catana FE also features Shimano’s G-Free Body and Propulsion Line Management System for all-day comfort and trouble-free casting. They come with an additional ball bearing taking it to 3+1, so it’s smooth sailing all the way with these value packed reels. If you are looking for a freshwater spinning reel at a very affordable price, the Catana FE is one option you should not ignore. Ideal for a wide range of fishing, from lightweight and medium sized lures, to match and feeder fishing, the understated appearance looks fantastic and the performance is remarkable for a reel of this price
Features:
G Free Body: G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the worm shaft oscillation mechanism 19mm from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.Â
