The Nexave FE is the updated version of the well-known Nexave FD. It has a sleek new body design, improved cosmetics, higher max drag settings and a reduced 325g weight. This affordable front drag spinning reel for beginner anglers gives them the quality and features of higher-end Shimano reels.

Great Freshwater Starter

This affordable reel can be used for all kinds of freshwater fishing, from light to moderate lures for trout, perch, pike and zander, all the way up to match and feeder fishing.

Powerful Drag

The multidisc drag is perfectly adjustable and will help you fight big fish without any problems. The 5.2:1 gear ratio gives you great control over powerful fish and an 8.5kg maximum drag.

XT-7 Body

Developed by Shimano, XT-7 is a reliable, lightweight and durable graphite composite. Even though the handle is made from one piece of machined aluminium, the whole reel weighs only 325g (11.5oz).

3+1 Bearings

The 3 stainless steel ball bearings keep the reel running smoothly, while the Super Stopper II one-way roller bearing provides instant anti-reverse. This eliminates back play for instant hook setting power.

Dyna-Balance

The balanced rotor eliminates wobble on the retrieve, enhancing sensitivity and smoothness. Dyna-Balance uses the same computer balancing technique as car tires for a smoother rotation.

VariSpeed II

This oscillation system moves with two variable speed to lay the line flat and smooth onto the spool. This gives you trouble-free, longer casts.

A-RC Spool/Propulsion Line Management System

The spool’s angled lip lets the line leave the spool with less friction and smaller coils. This gives you more accurate casts and reduces backlash and wind knots when using braid.

Power Roller

Reduces line twist from repeated casting and retrieving. The grooved design means the line is wrapped on the spool to minimise loops and twists during the cast.
