Shimano Biocraft XT Large Arbor Fly Reel 7/8

Cold forging technology is at the very heart of Shimano's bike and fishing tackle business. This process ensures a strong yet lightweight frame and spool. The frame is then machined and the result is a reel that is as impressive to behold as it is to use. Rods have become increasingly lighter thanks to the use of new materials and technology. It is therefore important that reels follow suit to ensure a well-balanced outfit and, at 150g, the 7/8 version is one of the lightest metal reels on the market.

As well as cold forging, Shimano is known for the quality of its' drags and the Biocraft XT benefits here too. Both the 3/4 and 5/6 sizes incorporate a single disk micro-adjustable drag whilst the 7/8 features a double disk system. A quick-change push button spool and easy handle conversion complete the specification.
