The FX is an all round spinning reel which replaces the previous FX, AX and HYPERLOOP reels. It’s an ideal choice for the angler who is just beginning with fishing or has a small budget, but still wants to fish with a reliable reel. In this segment, there are many poor quality spinning reels on the market with ‘high specs’ (advertising with 10 ball bearings, etc). The FX has not 10 ball bearings, but it has the quality which Shimano is known for; strong and smooth Shimano gearing, alu spool and a strong XT-7 body.
Enjoy the Shimano quality on a cost-effective, entry-level spinning reel. The reliable FX series is a great option for recreational fishing enthusiasts. Now with a roller clutch, propulsion spool and an increased bearing count, you’ll get more performance features for less with the FX series.
FEATURES
Propulsion Line Management System The spool lip is specifically shaped to allow the line to leave the spool with less friction, which increases casting distance and reduces wind knots.
G-Free Body This technology shifts the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod, reducing hand fatigue and improving casting comfort over long sessions.
Varispeed Oscillation Ensures an even line lay on the spool, which is critical for smooth casting and preventing loops or tangles during retrieval.
Dyna-Balance By eliminating wobble during the retrieve, this feature provides better sensitivity and smoothness when you're reeling in.
Build Quality Features a durable XT-7 body, a strong aluminum spool, and smooth Shimano gearing that provides reliability without a high price tag.
