Shimano Nexave FI Spin Reel – Affordable Performance with Shimano Quality

The Shimano Nexave FI Spin Reel delivers the perfect balance of performance, comfort, and value, making it an excellent choice for anglers looking for Shimano reliability at an affordable price. Revamped in 2021 with key upgrades, the Nexave FI offers smoother performance and longer casting distances, while maintaining its reputation as a dependable reel for beginners and budget-conscious fishos.

Equipped with Shimano’s Propulsion Line Management System and AR-C Spool, the Nexave FI allows braid or mono to flow off the spool with less friction, producing longer and more accurate casts while minimising tangles and wind knots. The inclusion of G-Free Body technology shifts the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod for improved balance and reduced fatigue during long sessions — perfect for estuary, freshwater, and light inshore applications.

Whether you’re chasing your first bream or flathead, or pushing for your next personal best, the Nexave FI Spin Reel is built to help you enjoy the moment with confidence.
