The Shimano 26 NASCI 2500HG represents the latest evolution in affordable performance, bringing premium technologies like SilentDrive and HAGANE Gear to everyday Kiwi anglers. Designed for versatility, this reel is an exceptional choice for freshwater trout spinning in the Twizel canals or light softbaiting for snapper in shallow harbours.

• HAGANE Gear – Cold-forged drive gear provides unparalleled strength and enduring smoothness without heavy machining.
• SilentDrive Technology – Eliminates micron-level gaps and wobbles for a near-silent, ultra-smooth rotation during retrieval.
• CoreProtect – Water-repellent coating protects internal mechanisms from saltwater intrusion without adding rotational resistance.
• G-Free Body – Shifts the centre of gravity closer to the rod to reduce fatigue during long casting sessions.
• High Speed Retrieve – The 6.2:1 gear ratio picks up 91cm of line per crank, ideal for working soft baits or small stickbaits quickly.
