The Aero is a stunning front drag spinning reel that pairs perfectly with the Aero Match range of rods. It covers all areas of modern coarse fishing and is equipped with both a reverse lock and a gearbox in proven Shimano quality. Its discreet design fits perfectly with the Shimano Aero rod series.
The AERO is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to fish at the highest level with a float or feeder, or only wants to use the best maretial in competitions. There are three sizes (C3000, 4000, C5000), from which you can choose depending on the area of application and the rod used. While you deactivate the return when fishing with fine lines and the fish are transported over the net head by back-winding, you can rely on the super-fine, waterproof drag when using stronger lines. Of course, both drill variants can also be perfectly combined.
Inside the inconspicuous XT-7 G Free housing of the Aero is Shimano's first-class Hagane Gear and X-Ship, which is supplemented by Silent Drive. This combination is known for its strong performance and long-term reliability. It ensures that the reel maintains its peak performance almost indefinitely, even when fishing with large feeders or catching big carp on commercial waters.
Other outstanding features include the extremely smooth-action, waterproof front drag, the AR-C cold-forged aluminum spool for improved casting performance and a crank that screws directly into the main gear for a smooth, direct contact action. Each model comes with a line reducer that reduces the spool capacity of the reel, making all models suitable for both mono and braided lines. In addition, each spool has a round metal line clip that can be used to set the casting distance without damaging the line.
