SHIMANO 26 Nasci 2500HG

The Nasci has always met the needs of a wide range of anglers. It comes standard with the smooth rotation performance and toughness inherited from higher-end models. Its superior usability supports improved angler performance. The new Nasci features advanced technologies such as Infinity Drive for powerful winding, a one-piece bail to suppress line trouble, and anti-twist fins. The lineup ranges from size 500 to C5000, targeting freshwater bass and trout, as well as saltwater light salt, sea bass, surf, and light shore jigging. Its reliable specifications, built to last, make it an ideal first reel for entry-level anglers, while also satisfying veteran anglers.

The Nasci boasts high cost-performance specifications that match the needs of a wide range of anglers. At the core of its rotational and casting performance are Shimano's signature features such as HAGANE gears, X-SHIP, and AR-C spool, while CoreProtect provides enhanced waterproofing.
Furthermore, the new Nasci inherits advanced technologies from higher-end models, including Infinity Drive, one-piece bail, and anti-twist fins. With its reliable specifications offering high levels of rotational performance, toughness, and trouble-free operation, it strongly supports serious anglers looking to step up their game.

Never relinquish control. Improved winding power and unwavering rotational performance
The gears, which are at the heart of its smooth rotation performance, utilize HAGANE gears made of ultra-duralumin manufactured with our unique cold forging technology, pursuing the same "unchanging winding feel" as the previous model.

Furthermore, the newly incorporated Infinity Drive significantly reduces the sliding resistance between the pinion gear and the main shaft, lowering rotational torque. This further improves winding power, allowing you to maintain control even under heavy loads with aggressive reeling.

Body design that does not compromise on durability or rigidity
What makes the Nasci's winding power even more robust is its uncompromising body design and handle rigidity. The body is made of a highly rigid, high-strength resin, providing robustness suitable for PE line fishing and protecting the gear meshing.
Furthermore, the handle is made of aluminum and features a shape that suppresses flex. This ensures that the power the angler applies to the handle is converted into winding force without loss.

CoreProtect: A non-contact waterproof mechanism that prevents water ingress
While being a highly versatile reel, it also focuses on waterproofing to ensure greater peace of mind during extended use. The CoreProtect non-contact waterproofing mechanism incorporated in the Nasci reel suppresses water ingress through a water-repellent treatment that creates water droplets. Because it is non-contact, it suppresses the deterioration of waterproofing performance due to wear, and maintains the original rotational performance.

Advanced technology suppresses problems
Troubles are the biggest enemy when it comes to enjoying a comfortable fishing experience. Line troubles, in particular, are a major source of stress, causing reduced casting distance and deterioration of line strength. The Nasci incorporates technologies from higher-end models to prevent such line troubles.
The one-piece bail smoothly picks up the line without any joints, and the anti-twist fins, which suppress line slack and prevent line detachment, support correct and clean winding.
Furthermore, the AR-C spool's special spool ring shape regulates line flow, suppressing backlash and ensuring correct line release. This allows you to fully utilize its inherent long-casting performance to hit your target.

Achieved weight reduction while refining rotational performance
The Nasci, which has always focused on smooth rotation and reliable durability, continues to evolve in this latest model without changing its concept.
By incorporating technologies inherited from higher-end models, such as Infinity Drive, One-Piece Bail, and Anti-Twist Fins, it has become an even more reliable reel.
Furthermore, despite these improvements, the 2500 size is 5g lighter than its predecessor, which is also noteworthy.

Infinity Drive
Powerful winding for constant control.
The conventional X-SHIP structure, which achieved light winding, has evolved into an even more powerful structure. This reel has evolved to actively wind even under high load.

One-piece bail
We have succeeded in manufacturing a completely seamless, one-piece molded bail. This results in a beautiful appearance and trouble-free operation.

Anti-twist fin
A unique fin that suppresses line slack.
An elastic fin is placed close to the line roller. By suppressing line slack, it reduces the phenomenon of line falling off the bottom of the spool and the phenomenon of the line being wound onto the spool while twisted.
