Shimano AERO XR C3000, Reel

If you are a competitive angler, float or feeder angler and want a reel that matches your ability, the Aero XR is the solution. All reels balance perfectly with Shimano's best Aero X5, X7 and Pro match and feeder rods, giving you an enviable combination that offers a competitive edge.

The smallest 3000 size is perfect for all float fishing and close range feeder fishing, the medium 4000 is ideal for larger floats or mid-range feeder fishing and the largest 5000 size is ideal for longer feeder fishing or mid-range heavy feeder fishing. Featuring a G-Free CI4+ body and rotor, all models are remarkably lightweight, with the 4000 size weighing just 250g, a noticeable reduction compared to competing models of the same size.

With its super smooth waterproof drag and an extra anti-reverse feature, you can play fish straight from the drag when using stronger lines, by backing up when using fine lines, or by using a combination of both.

An additional benefit you can feel is the precision of the easy rotation, which is a result of the CI4+ rotor construction and HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, Silent Drive technology. Additional features include the best AR-C cold forged aluminum spools (including a spare spool) with a line reducer to reduce the line capacity of the reel. The larger 5000 model has an additional reducer for use with braided line when feeder fishing at long distances.

Power is delivered by a very direct screw handle and a metal line clamp, which is strong and line protected, reinforces the XR's pedigree for feeder fishing. Visually, the discreet 'stealth-like' appearance of the Aero XR is stunning and combined with the advanced engineering it cannot fail to inspire your confidence to perform at the highest level.
