SHIMANO CATANA
The 2022 Shimano Catana range of Spin Reels has undergone a significant update, boasting a redesigned body and aesthetic enhancements. This series is specifically tailored for anglers seeking high-quality performance at an affordable price point. Available in four sizes ranging from 1000 to 4000, the re-launched Catana reels cater to a wide range of fishing needs and preferences.
Key features of the Catana range include high gear retrieve ratios ranging from 5.8 to 6.2:1 in the 2500, C3000, and 4000 sizes, facilitated by the inclusion of durable zinc DC gears. This setup ensures swift line retrieval, ideal for freshwater, estuary, and light offshore applications. The larger reels in the series boast impressive drag power capabilities, with some models offering up to 8.5kg of drag, providing anglers with ample control over larger fish species.
The Catana FE reels also incorporate Shimano's G-Free Body design, which shifts the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue during extended fishing sessions. Additionally, Shimano's Propulsion Line Management System ensures trouble-free casting by minimizing line twists and friction.
To further enhance performance, these reels are equipped with an additional ball bearing, bringing the total to 3+1, which ensures smooth operation and consistent performance under various fishing conditions.
Overall, the 2022 Shimano Catana Spin Reels combine affordability with essential features and reliable performance, making them a preferred choice for anglers looking to maximize value without compromising on quality or functionality. Whether you're targeting freshwater bass, fishing in estuaries, or exploring light offshore opportunities, the Catana range delivers the durability, versatility, and smooth operation needed to enhance your fishing experience.

G FREE BODY
G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the worm shaft oscillation mechanism 19mm from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort
