The new Nasci series of spinning reels answers the call for anglers demanding smoothness and durability in multiple fishing applications. Suitable in both freshwater and inshore saltwater environments, Nasci spinning reels feature CoreProtect to increase durability and water resistance without creating an additional heavy rotational feeling.

The Shimano cold-forged HAGANE Gear technology provides unparalleled gear durability compared to reels with diecast or machined gear construction. SilentDrive the same technology found in Shimano’s flagship lineup of reels increases gear tolerances to a micron level to reduce unnecessary noise and vibration for increased reeling performance. Engineered to perform with Shimano quality and attention to detail, the newly redesigned series of Nasci spinning reels will perform when needed most. Note: The Nasci 500 (NAS500FC) does not include the following features: CoreProtect, SilentDrive, X-Ship.

Features:

• HAGANE – A reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano’s precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
• HAGANE Gear –With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication, instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D-design and then formed by Shimano’s cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the fruit of Shimano’s inexhaustible pursuit for durability the strength and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.
• CoreProtect (Except 500) – Total Protection, the concept of CoreProtect is simple: to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotational feeling. There are three key areas of the reel that require protection: the roller clutch, the body and the line roller.
• SilentDrive (Except 500) –SilentDrive technology benefits from a total redesign of all functional parts focused on the drive gear, worm shaft and other parts. The goal: remove unnecessary noise and vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation.
• X-Ship (Except 500) – X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.
• G-Free Body – G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the anglers hand, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
• Cross Carbon Drag (C5000) –The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.
• Propulsion Line Management System –The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion Spool Lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, Shimanos new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming.

Offering the performance and reliability Shimano is known for at an incredible value, the Shimano 2021 Nasci FC Spinning Reels boast updated features and technologies often seen well outside of its price bracket. This versatile reel series is perfect for a wide range of applications in both freshwater and saltwater. This latest generation of Nasci Spinning Reels includes the same great features that made the previous generation a favorite of many anglers, including the cold-forged HAGANE Gear technology that provides unparalleled gear durability compared to reels with diecast or machined gear construction. Also returning is Shimano’s X-Ship and CoreProtect technologies to maximize winding power and keep your reel’s internals protected from the elements. New to the lineup of features is SilentDrive, a technology brought down from Shimano’s premier line of spinning reels. SilentDrive increases gear tolerances to a micron level to reduce unnecessary noise and vibration for increased reeling performance. With a size range spanning from ultra-light and ice fishing to a variety of inshore applications, anglers of all varieties will be able to find the perfect spinning reel for the job. Engineered to perform with Shimano quality and attention to detail, the newly redesigned Nasci FC punches well above its weight in typical Shimano fashion.
