Shimano Reel Aero BB C5000
Decent graphics perfectly match many Shimano rods, especially the Aero float and feeder rods. If you are a sport or recreational angler looking for the best quality while working with a limited budget, the extremely affordable Aero BB reel is a great choice and features a reverse winding mechanism for catching fish by rewinding.
This series of reels is available in three sizes (3000, 4000, and 5000) to cover most situations when fishing with a float, and is ideal for targeting larger fish such as carp and bream on light to heavy feeders. This series of reels pairs perfectly with the Aero X1 and Aero X3 rod series. Feeder anglers will also appreciate the easy-to-use round metal line clip, which is perfect for accurate casts. Inside the sleek XT-7 G Free Aero BB body is the highly rated cold-forged Hagane Gear and Shimano's X-Ship system. This combination is known for its powerful, efficient winding and long-term reliability, ensuring that your reel maintains its top performance for nearly unlimited time.
Other standout features include the AR-C spool made from cold-forged aluminum for better casting and line management, plus a handle that screws directly into the main gear for direct play without backlash. And if all these features are not enough to convince you of the quality and unbeatable value of the Aero BB, each model comes with a line reduction that decreases the spool capacity of the reel, making all models ideal for both monofilament and braided lines.
