Shimano Nasci C5000XG FC Spinning Reel

Product Description

Delivering shimano’s renowned performance and reliability at an exceptional value, the nasci fc spinning reels feature upgraded technologies typically found in higher-end models. Designed for versatility, this reel series excels in both freshwater and saltwater applications. When purchasing the nasci fc from tackledirect, novice and experienced anglers alike can experience the benefit of shimano technology at a price that anyone can appreciate.
The largest size in the nasci fc series, the nasc5000xgfc is built on the same reel body as the 4000 size, but features a larger spool for increased line capacity. This reel is equally as capable of handling the larger, ocean-bound gamefish living off the coast like big migratory stripers in the northeast, bull reds further down the coast, and even potentially smaller tarpon. Anglers will find this size perfect for heavier bottom fishing applications as it holds ample amounts of braided like up to the 40 lb. Test range. This size pairs well with heavier inshore rods, boat rods, and some may even say it feels right at home on a 9′ surf rod. At 10.8 oz. The 5000 size is nice and light for a reel of its size. The medium-fast 6.2:1 gear ratio coupled with a large spool diameter provides quick line pickup for fishing surface lures, swimming artificials, and bringing big fish in quickly. This size is fitted with a round power knob for additional cranking leverage when fighting large fish. 
Shimano technology found in nasc5000xgfc nasci fc spinning reel
Coreprotect – designed to deliver outstanding water resistance without adding extra rotational resistance during retrieval. Key areas like the roller clutch, body, and line roller are specially treated to prevent water intrusion.
Cross carbon drag – provides a broader range of drag adjustments, improved durability of drag washers, and the smoothest drag performance shimano has ever achieved.
G-free body – shifts the reel’s center of gravity closer to the reel seat, ultimately moving the angler’s hand position to improve balance, reduce fatigue, and enhance casting performance.
Hagane body – a highly rigid reel body that minimizes flex and withstands impacts, ensuring maximum durability. This design enhances cranking power by efficiently converting an angler’s movements into smooth, powerful retrieval.
Hagane gear – offers exceptional strength and longevity, utilizing a precise cold-forging process rather than traditional cutting methods. This advanced technology ensures a consistently smooth reel performance, providing anglers with reliability from the first cast to years of use.
Propulsion line management system – a uniquely engineered spool lip design, tested extensively through thousands of casting trials and computer simulations, ensures longer casting distances while minimizing backlashes and wind knots.
Silentdrive – a series of precise internal micro-adjustments and refinements that increase gear tolerance to a micron level to eliminate gaps, shaking, noise from moving components. The result is an exceptionally low tolerance feel with unparalleled smooth rotation.
X-ship – by supporting the pinion gear with bearings on both ends, it maintains perfect alignment with the drive gear, even under heavy loads. This design minimizes friction between the spool shaft and gear, resulting in smoother casting and enhanced gear longevity.
