The Aero XR is a technically mature reel for match and feeder fishing that combines all the attributes that experienced anglers expect from a high-quality reel from Shimano.

Including a deactivatable backstop, a light Ci4+ housing, a Ci4+ rotor and a HAGANE gear for incomparable performance.
For competitive anglers or feeder and match fans, the Aero XR is a brilliant solution.

All reels perfectly balance the Aero X5, X7 and Pro Match and Feeder rods for a real edge on the water.
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 drag when using stronger lines.
Of course, both drill variants can also be perfectly combined.

The small 3000 is perfect for float fishing and close range feeder fishing.

The 4000 is ideal for heavy float fishing and medium feeders.

The 5000 is suitable for distance feeders or for heavy rigs.

Thanks to the Ci4+ housing and the Ci4+ rotor, all models are remarkably light. For example, the 4000 weighs only 250 grams, which clearly sets it apart from competitors of the same size.

Another clear advantage is the absolutely smooth rotation - a result of the Ci4+ rotor, the HAGANE gearbox, X-Ship and the Silent Drive technology.
Other features include the best cold-pressed aluminum AR-C spools (one spare spool included), which come with a line reducer so you don't have to use padding.
The large 5000 series is equipped with an additional line reducer for use with braided lines.

The Aero XR reels draw their power from the directly screwed-in crank and from a line clip made of metal, which not only is stable, but also very gentle on the line.
The cool stealth look is also visually appealing.
The interplay of the technical features and the understated look of these reels inspire fishing at the highest level.
