Quick take
A versatile mid-sized spinning reel with smooth Infinity Drive retrieves and CoreProtect water resistance.
The Shimano Nasci FD in C3000 is a spinning reel for anglers who want one setup that covers a wide range of freshwater and light saltwater fishing. Infinity Drive gearing, an Anti-Twist Fin and a one-piece bail aim at smooth retrieves and fewer tangles, while CoreProtect adds water resistance. Its 6.2:1 gear ratio picks up roughly 36 inches of line per turn, and it spools braided line.
