The Beastmaster XB is the renewed version of the Beastmaster XTA/XSA big pit reel. For this money, the angler will have an excellent working reel which is strong and durable. The 10000 size aluminum spool holds 0.35 mm -400m line, which is more than enough for both carp anglers who want to fish far out and surf anglers who want to make long casts. The instant drag is smooth and reliable. It has 1+1 A-RB bearings, the gear ratio is 4,6:1 and the line retrieve is 100 cm per reel handle turn (360 degrees). The reel is matt black painted with grey details: this color is chosen so the reel matches (color wise) with almost every rod in the market and this black colour is appreciated by carp anglers as well.
The Catana is for many years Shimano’s most sold spinning reel in Europe! And that’s no coincidence: the Catana is strong, solid, smooth and reliable for years, while the price is very competitive. When compared to the previous series (FC), the reel has a new, modern and striking black stealth design. It rotates very smooth and all parts are made to last. Many parts inside are updated and that makes it possible to upgrade the drag power massively, compared to the FC model. This makes the reel also more powerful and ready for fighting big fish! The Catana can be used for many ways of fishing. Of course for predator / spinning / trout, but also very suitable for feeder/match/coarse/commercial fishing, because it is equipped with the anti-retour lever which is liked by many anglers. Because the range is extended with also HG versions, the reel is even more versatile than the previous generation!
The Catana RC is a rear-drag spinning reel. This reel will perfectly fit the needs of anglers who are looking for a low-budget, but smooth running reel.

Also the smooth running drag will have enough power to fish on commercials and fight big carp. The combination of the low RRP, Shimano quality and modern design makes this reel a perfect buddy for both new and also experienced anglers.

Featuring a Cold Forged Aluminum Spool with AR-C line managemnet that’s suitable for both mono and braid, and Varispeed line lay which prevents fine mono and braid bedding in under pressuere, the Sahara RD is available in both single and double handle versions in a range of small and mid sizes from 1000 to 4000.

The beautifully designed Sedona FI is the lowest priced spinning reel of Shimano that features Shimano's HAGANE Gearing. Because of the unrivalled HAGANE Gear the angler can be confident that the reel will show tremendous durability over the years, even under extremely heavy use. The G Free Body gives great comfort since the internal parts of the reel are shifted closer to the rod compared to reels without the G Free Body feature. The combination of the HAGANE Gear and the G Free Body results in longlasting reliability and comfort for the angler. These strong technical features in combination with the appealing design will make this a very reliable fishing partner for both novice and experienced anglers. The new Sedona comes in sizes 1000 to 5000, in several gear ratios, and next to that there is also a double handle model available.
