Building on the success of the original Nasci series, Shimano’s new Nasci FD range raises the bar with a host of thoughtful upgrades designed to enhance performance across a wide range of fishing styles. These reels combine lightweight design, robust construction, and advanced technology to deliver smooth operation and dependable reliability whether you’re targeting freshwater species or tackling saltwater challenges.
The Nasci FD reels feature a sturdy one-piece bail that boosts durability and reliability. This solid construction ensures the bail won’t flex or fail during heavy use, providing confidence when making long casts or battling strong fish. Despite their toughness, the reels remain lightweight, reducing fatigue and improving overall balance for extended fishing sessions.
Line twist and tangles can spoil even the best fishing trip. Shimano’s innovative Anti-Twist Fin helps maintain perfect line alignment, minimising twists and snarls. This technology improves casting distance and accuracy while also protecting your line from damage, making it easier to focus on landing your catch rather than managing line issues.
At the heart of the Nasci FD is Shimano’s InfinityDrive system, engineered to reduce winding torque under pressure. This means you get smoother, more effortless retrieves even when fighting strong or fast-running fish. The system improves power transmission and control, helping you maintain steady pressure and make precise hook sets.
Available in six models from the compact 500 up to the powerful 5000XG, the Nasci FD range covers ultra-light, light, and medium fishing applications. Whether you’re casting lures for trout, bass, bream, flathead, or snapper or bait fishing for whiting, drummer, and beyond, these reels are up to the task. They perform equally well in fresh or saltwater and are suited to fishing from shorelines, kayaks, or boats.
With a combination of advanced technology, thoughtful design, and rugged reliability, the Shimano Nasci FD reels deliver years of smooth, trouble-free fishing. Head to your local tackle store and experience the next level of performance with the Nasci FD range.
