Shimano's new Aero BB is a great value front drag reel that offers versatile performance for Bolognese rod and feeder anglers and is equipped with backstop. The understated graphics fit perfectly with many Shimano rods, especially the Aero float and feeder rods. Available in three sizes 3000, 4000 and 5000 to cover most float fishing situations and ideal for light to heavy feeder fishing for larger fish such as carp and bream, this range of reels perfectly match the ranges of Aero X1 and Aero X3 rods. Feeder enthusiasts will also appreciate the easy-to-use round metal clip, perfect for accurate casting. Inside the Aero BB's sleek XT-7 G Free body is Shimano's cold-forged X-Ship Gear and X-Ship system. This combination is renowned for its powerful and efficient winding and long-lasting reliability, ensuring that the reel maintains its peak performance over a long period of time. Other features that stand out are the AR-C spool made from cold forged aluminum for better line management, plus a crank that screws directly into the main gear. And if all of these features aren't enough to convince you of the quality and unrivaled value of the Aero BB, each model is equipped with a reducer for the reel spool capacity, making all models perfect for both nylon and of the braid.
