Shimano Nasci FC C3000 Carreto

The NASCI front drag reel range embraces modern design and visual trends, with Shimano's unrivalled engineering excellence. The understated, almost monochromic grey body features subtle chrome accents and fits perfectly alongside Shimano's latest reels, making the range a compelling proposition for anglers looking for a mid-priced reel. In use, the unmistakable strength and durability of Hagane gear and the reassuring torque and solidity of X-SHIP is immediately apparent, as the reel rotates with a whisper quiet hum and a directness that belies its true cost. NASCI features a wide range of impressive, proven technology including HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, Coreprotect on line roller (IPX4), G Free Body (made from lightweight CI4+), AR-C Spool and S A-RB bearings, but it's real appeal is the silhouette and looks that are as attractive as almost anything else in the market place, irrespective of cost.

HAGANE

• HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.

HAGANE GEAR

• The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.

X SHIP

• X SHIP provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.

SILENTDRIVE

• The basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and quiet reel rotation.

COREPROTECT

• The water-repellent treatment provides water-resistance even in the presence of minute gaps due to the water bead formation effect. The water resist effect can be improved without increasing rotational resistance. Furthermore, since there is no contact, there is no abrasion and the waterproofing effect lasts longer.

G FREE BODY

• G FREE BODY technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G FREE BODY helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

AR-C SPOOL

• The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.

CROSS CARBON DRAG

• The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the durability.
