Shimano Aero C3000 Reel

Shimano Aero C3000 Reel. The Aero is a stunning front drag reel that sits perfectly in the middle of the Aero Match range. Delivering versatile performance for float and feeder anglers, it is fitted with an anti-reverse facility and Shimano’s leading gear assembly. Sleek understated graphics fit perfectly with the Shimano Aero rod ranges.

If you are a competition angler who fishes the float or the feeder and want a high quality reel to gain an advantage over your rivals, the Aero is the solution. Offering class-leading value for money, there are three sizes (C3000, 4000, C5000) to choose from depending on your requirements and the size of the rod you are using. With their super smooth waterproof drag and an additional anti-reverse facility, you can play fish directly off the drag when using stronger lines by back-winding when using fine lines, or by using a combination of both, safe in the knowledge that you have Shimano’s undeniable quality at your fingertips.

Inside the understated XT-7 G Free body of the Aero is Shimano’s top rated Hagane Gear and X-Ship system, enhanced by Silent Drive. This combination is renowned for powerful performance and long-lasting reliability, ensuring your reel will maintain its peak performance almost indefinitely, even when fishing with large feeders or catching massive weights of match-sized carp.

Other features that stand out are the super smooth waterproof front drag, AR-C Spool crafted from Cold Forged Aluminium for improved casting, plus a handle that screws straight into the main gear for ‘play-free’ directness. Each model comes with a line reducer to reduce the spool capacity of the reel, making all models perfect for both mono and braided lines and a round metal line clip that can be used for accurate casting performance.

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.

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.
