Shimano Aero XR Spinning Reel

The Aero XR is a technically advanced match and feeder reel containing all of the attributes required by top competition anglers. These include an anti-reverse facility, lightweight CI4+ body and rotor, and advanced HAGANE gearing for peerless performance. If you are a competition angler, or fish using a float or feeder, and want a reel to match your ability, the Aero XR is the solution.

All of the reels in this range balance perfectly with Shimano’s best Aero X5, X7 and Pro match and feeder rods. The smallest 3000 size is perfect for all float fishing and close range feeder fishing, the mid-sized 4000 is ideal for larger float work or mid range feeder fishing and the largest 5000 size is ideal for longer feeder work or mid-range heavy feeder work.

With a G-Free CI4+ body and rotor all models are remarkably light and you can feel the precision of the lightweight rotation, which is a result of the CI4+ Rotor construction and the HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, Silent Drive technology. Additional features include the best AR-C Cold Forged Aluminium spools, (including a spare spool) with a line reducer to reduce the line capacity of the reel. The larger 5000 model has an additional reducer for use with braid when feeder fishing at long range.

Key Features:

• The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s cold forging technology, delivering a long lasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel.
• X SHIP provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads.
• 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.
• G FREE BODY technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod, which helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
