With many devotees on the specimen and saltwater angling, the Aerlex XS reels from Shimano features Aero Wrap, long-nosed tapered spool, gutsy 3.8:1 retrieve ratio and a highly keen price point.

Spodding places more wear and tear on a reel than most freshwater styles, and the beefy Shimano Aerlex XS is the ideal tool for the job.

These reels cast as well as they retrieve. Other features include stainless steel ball bearing, ergonomic Bio-Grip stem and a powerful, precise front drag.
