Reel Nexave FJ

On Sale on January 2026

The Shimano Nexave FJ is a versatile spinning reel designed for anglers who demand performance, durability, and value across multiple fishing styles. Whether you’re casting lures in freshwater, exploring inshore saltwater spots, or enjoying coarse and feeder fishing, Nexave FJ delivers the confidence you need to succeed.
Built with Shimano’s renowned engineering, Nexave FJ offers a smooth and powerful retrieve, making it ideal for a wide range of species and techniques. Its lightweight yet robust construction ensures effortless handling during long sessions, while the precision gearing provides consistent performance under pressure. With its modern design, reliable drag system, and excellent line management, Nexave FJ is the perfect partner for anglers who want a reel that can do it all—without compromise.
Behind the sleek design of the Shimano Nexave FJ lies a combination of advanced features that deliver performance far beyond what you’d expect from an entry-level reel. The precision-engineered HAGANE Gear ensures long-lasting strength and smooth power transfer, giving you the confidence to fight hard-running fish without compromise. SilentDrive technology eliminates unnecessary play and vibration, resulting in an ultra-smooth rotation that makes every retrieve feel effortless—perfect for working lures with precision.

The G-Free Body shifts the reel’s center of gravity closer to the rod, improving balance and reducing fatigue during long sessions, whether you’re casting for sea bass from the shore or feeder fishing on a big river. The Varispeed II oscillation system guarantees even line lay, which means smoother casting and fewer tangles, while the aluminum AR-C spool minimizes friction for longer, more accurate casts—ideal when you need to reach distant feeding zones.

For added reliability, the Anti-Twist Fin keeps slack line under control, reducing wind knots when using fine braids. Inside, three shielded stainless steel ball bearings plus a roller bearing deliver consistent smoothness under load, so you can focus on the fight, not the gear. Thoughtfully designed and built to last, Nexave FJ is the perfect introduction to Shimano quality—whether you’re spinning for perch, chasing sea bass in the surf, or setting up for coarse and feeder fishing.

With its perfect balance of performance, reliability, and versatility, Nexave FJ is your ideal companion for every fishing adventure—whether you’re chasing predators, exploring inshore waters, or enjoying a relaxing day on the water.

TECHNOLOGY

SILENTDRIVE
ANTI-TWIST FIN
G FREE BODY
AR-C SPOOL
SILENTDRIVECAM_RL_SP
SILENTDRIVE

The basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and quiet reel rotation.


ANTITWISTFIN_RL_SP
ANTI-TWIST FIN

Elastic fins are installed in close proximity to the line roller section. By suppressing line slack, the fins reduce the phenomenon of line dropping out of the lower part of the spool and line wrapping around the spool while the line is still twisted.


GFREEBODYCAM_RL_SP
G FREE BODY

G FREE BODY technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G FREE BODY helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.


AR-CSPOOL_RL_SP
AR-C SPOOL

The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.
