Coarse Fishing Tackle Overview: The Shimano Catana 2500 RA Reel

Should you be a coarse fisherman, then you understand the struggle of pursuing various fish species. When you're fishing for barbell, bream, dace, perch, pike, grayling as well as others, your coarse fishing tackle must be as versatile as it can be. Because of the fact that you’re a coarse angler, you’ll usually need to adapt quickly to a diversity of fishing spots, baits and strategies. Personally, I’m partial to pike given that they put up a tremendous battle and offer a rather good challenge. Regardless of which coarse species you may be favour, you will require gear that's both durable and efficient. Since I can’t pay for state-of-the-art fishing gear, I'm always on the lookout for first-rate tackle that's cost-effective. I wanted to offer my opinion on a brilliant, affordable reel from Shimano: the Cantana 2500 RA.

Major Parts of the Shimano Catana 2500 RA Coarse Fishing Reel

This reel can be used by either left or right handed anglers and is rather light in weight, part that's significant to me during extensive fishing sessions. It has 2 stainless steel ball bearings for easy action and will bear 200 yards of 6 pound test line. The gear ratio is 5.2:1, and the gearing is cold forged. Cold forging is a process in which a metal, mostly aluminium, is forced into a die, where it distorts in a directed way and takes the form of the die. In the matter of cold forged aluminium, the metal also is caused to experience a heat treatment tempering procedure that strengthens it. The Catana 2500 RA has an additional extra-light graphite spool along with the standard aluminium spool. Regardless of its very affordability of close to £24.99, the reel contains 3D CAD-CAM designed gearing for precise action and exceptional easiness.

Coarse Fishing Tackle
- A Few More Facts the Catana 2500 RA Reel

Another high tech component found on this budget friendly reel is the progressive multi-disk rear drag system that has a surprisingly wide range of settings. This makes the reel perfect for anything from heavy spinning to light match fishing. The Dyna-Balance® aspect might be seen as close to balancing an auto tyre. This process does away with rotor wobble during the retrieve. The Varispeed® oscillation aspect ensures accurate line lay. Last of all, the 2500 RA's Super Stopper II® facilitates instant hook setting. For the cost, this reel is full of features generally offered on costlier models. One of my angling acquaintances also has this reel. When I ask him his viewpoint, here's what he said: "I can use these for light float, feeder/ledger and spinning. As an all-rounder, they are not too big and not too small. The reel looks and feels well made, A cut above the 'budget' reels without getting silly on price."

Final Opinion on the Shimano Catana 2500 RA Coarse Fishing Reel

This reel was an outstanding addition to my assortment of coarse fishing tackle. I generally use it a lot more often than some of my other, higher priced reels. I’m glad to rate it at 4.5 out of a possible 5 stars.
