The Shimano Aero is a stunning front drag reel that sits perfectly in the middle of the Aero Match range. Offering versatile performance for float and feeder anglers, it features an anti-reverse function and Shimano's leading gear group. The elegant and understated graphics are perfectly suited to the ranges of Shimano Aero rods. If you are a competitive angler fishing float or feeder and want a high quality reel to give you the edge over your rivals, the Aero is the solution. Offering class leading value for money, there are three sizes (C3000, 4000, C5000) to choose from depending on your needs and the size of rod you are using. With their super smooth waterproof drag and an added anti-reverse feature, you can fish straight off the drag when using stronger lines or reeling in backwards when using thinner lines, or using a combination of both, with the confidence that you have the undeniable Shimano quality at your fingertips. Inside the Aero's understated XT-7 G Free body is Shimano's Hagane Gear and X-Ship system, enhanced by Silent Drive. This combination is renowned for its powerful performance and long lasting reliability, ensuring the reel maintains its peak performance almost indefinitely, even when fishing with large feeders or catching huge weights of match sized carp. Other features that stand out are the AR-C spool made from cold forged aluminum for better casting, plus a handle that screws directly into the main gear for "backlash-free" immediacy. Each model features a line reducer to reduce reel spool capacity making all models perfect for both mono and braided lines and a round metal clip that can be used for accurate casting performance.

If you take your squid fishing seriously, you’ll already know the importance of using the correct reel when EGI fishing and they don’t come much better than the Sephia BB. With an enviable history going back many years, this model has been tweaked to perfection to maximize your performance. Based on a compact 3000 sized body, the 5.3:1 gear ratio retrieves 78cm of line per handle turn, which is the optimum speed to prevent slack line when working your EGI lures aggressively. The elongated round EVA handle grip is comfortable and secure, even when wet, and when you feel the pressure of a take the Rapid Fire Drag can be quickly adjusted to provide the perfect pressure for the situation and size of squid. ​At the heart of the lightweight Sephia BB is Shimano’s HAGANE Gear, Micro Module II and X-SHIP combination. This produces efficient, smooth and very direct rotation, to cope with the stop/start action of EGI fishing, enabling lures to be worked aggressively without fear of failure. The inclusion of Long Stroke Spool and refined Silent Drive technology further enhances the fishing experience. Also contributing to the overall feel and balance of the reel is the G Free Body, which weighs only 225g and perfectly balances the most popular 2.5m EGI rods. The shallow spool is perfect for squid fishing and the aluminum AR-C spool design ensures line management is maximized when fishing aggressively. To cope with the harsh saltwater environment, Sephia BB uses Shimano’s leading X-Protect (IPX-8) water protection for the body and also the line roller.​ For the ultimate matching combination, the Sephia BB reel can be partnered with the Sephia BB rod, which has the same colored graphics.

Designed for targeting trout in both still and moving water, the Cardiff ML Bullet takes some of its design influence from the famous ‘Silent Assassin’ lure. Using AR-C / JET BOOST moving weight technology for increased casting distance and improved accuracy, it also benefits from Kyorin / SCALE BOOST 3D holographic film which gives a remarkable life-like scale pattern to fool wary trout in clear waters. When retrieved with a constant smooth speed, the swimming action has a vibration-like quality, but when jerked it swings wide with an aggressive flash and roll. The head down balance also offers a fish enticing, swaying profile when paused during the retrieve. The stability and slim profile make the Cardiff ML Bullet easy to use on running water when other lures lose their balance in the flow.
