The new Catana FE reel is the latest version of a Shimano classic. Offering exceptional value for money, the Catana FE is a reel that can be used in fresh water and in the sea, covering various techniques. If you are looking for a reel at a very affordable price, the Catana FE is an option you shouldn't ignore. Ideal for a wide range of applications, from light and medium spinning to feeder, the understated look looks fantastic and the performance is remarkable for a reel of this price. Pair the Catana with any mid-range Shimano rod and you have a great combination that you will be proud to own and use. During use you will immediately notice the improved balance produced by Shimano's latest G-Free body design. This body design is found on the best Shimano reels and makes fishing easier over a long period of time. The smoothness you'll feel comes from a combination of 3 Shimano stainless steel ball bearings plus a roller bearing, ensuring flawless performance, even when tackling larger fish. Like Shimano's top-of-the-line reels, the aluminum spool has an AR-C design, which combined with the Varispeed II line arrangement improves casting distance and accuracy, with both mono and braided lines. Perhaps the most difficult decision you will have to make is which Catana size to choose. There are 7 models, including high speed "HG" versions, ranging from the smallest 1000 size suitable for light fishing up to the largest 4000 size which is perfect for larger lures and heavy feeder fishing. Whatever your choice, the Catana FE reel will give you many hours of fishing fun and excitement.
