Catana is a spinning reel with a rear drag, designed for general freshwater fishing. It's particularly suitable for young, new, or less experienced anglers, offering excellent performance for its price, combined with Shimano's renowned reliability.

If you're looking for an affordable spinning reel for freshwater fishing, the Catana is an excellent starting point. It's suitable for many different types of fishing – from lighter and medium-heavy lures to float and feeder fishing. Its sleek design gives it a stylish look, and its performance is impressive for a reel in this price range. Furthermore, the easily adjustable rear drag makes the Catana particularly user-friendly for young and less experienced anglers.

The reel is equipped with 2 shielded stainless steel ball bearings and one roller bearing, ensuring smooth and stable operation. It also features a cold-forged aluminum spool with AR-C line management, which performs equally well with both monofilament and braided lines. The Varispeed line lay system contributes to even line winding and reduces the risk of thin or braided line digging in under pressure, making the reel easy and smooth to use.

The body is made from Shimano's XT-7 composite material, making it both lightweight and robust enough to withstand unexpected impacts and somewhat rough handling. The Catana is available in four different sizes, making it easy to choose the right model for a variety of fishing methods.
