The Catana has been the best-selling Shimano spinning reel in Europe for many years! This is no coincidence: the Catana is strong, solid, smooth, reliable for years, and the price is very competitive. When compared to the previous series (FC), the reel features a new, modern braking design in stealth black. It rotates smoothly and all parts are built to last. Many internal parts have been improved, making it possible to have a greater grip than the FC model. This makes the reel even more powerful and resistant to fighting big prey! The Catana is very versatile; it ranges from predator/spinning/trout to feeder/match/coarse and commercial, as it has an anti-return mechanism, appreciated by many different types of anglers. The range is very wide, there are also HG versions, so the reel is much more versatile than the previous generation!
