Shimano Spinning Reels - Universality and Endurance

The spinning reels probably are the most popular on the market today, due to their easiness of use and universality. These reels virtually backlash free, come with the different spool sizes. You may find sizes from 1000, which considered being "light" to reels with spool sizes of 20000, which are can be used for game fishing.

The efficiency and use of a fishing reel relies on the design and durability of the materials used. Bearings and bushes are an integral component of reels as they ensure the smooth and noiseless operation of the reel. Shimano fishing reel is manufactured with the highest quality Shimano bearings. In most of the finest reels, the reel cage and frames are manufactured with anodized aluminum or graphite. They help establish the weight and feel of the fishing reel.

After years designing and testing and longstanding market experience, Shimano produced one of the most outstanding spinning reels these days.

Any of the new models of Stella FD, Sustain FE, Stradic MgFB, Stradic FI and Saros F have greatly improved in one or three areas:
1. Gear durability.
2. Casting performance.
3. Line management.

Choosing the appropriate fishing reel depends on conditions of fishing, type - either saltwater or freshwater, and size of the fish. Of course, if you are going saltwater fishing you need to select bigger sizes reels, like Saros SAR3000F/4000F, Stradic ST4000R/5000R/6000R, Sustain SA5000FE/6000FE, Stella STL6000FA/8000FA that allows you to fight bigger and stronger fish. From this range of the fishing reels Stella models are the most expensive, but other models you can buy from $150 to $300. As I mentioned above you may want to invest bit more than $50 in fishing reel, if you want to avoid frustration at the end!

For freshwater you may select reels smaller the size, like Sustain SA2500FE/SA3000FE, Stradic ST1000MGFB/ST2500MGFB/ST2500R, Saros SAR2500F or Symetre SY1500FI/2500FI, because freshwater fish not as strong as saltwater fish and sizes are different as well.

As I said above, spinning reels are good choice for almost any occasion - whether you are fishing from the shore or boat, bait-casting or using lure.

And, of course, to make your reels serve for longer years to come, you need to maintain them accordingly!
For freshwater, you do not need anything special, just lubricate reels, wipe them dry after fishing and bring the reels to workshop for yearly maintenance.

But for saltwater reels, you need to follow special maintenance procedures to keep them in a good shape!
1. If reel was used in harsh conditions - wash it in soapy water.
2. Tighten the drag and rinse the reel in fresh water.
3. Using the cloth - wipe it dry.
4. Spray the reel regularly with anti-corrosion spray.
5. Lubricate the reel. Some of models, like Stradic and Saros have maintenance ports for this purpose.
6. For yearly service bring your reel to the tackle shop.
