What reviewers say about Shimano

The Best Shimano Reels for Freshwater and Saltwater, Tested
For versatile freshwater and saltwater performance, the Shimano TwinPower SW is the best overall pick. For freshwater-only anglers, the Vanford is the top pick.

Shimano FX Rod & Reel Combo Review | Best Budget Set Up?
Both the rod and reel are exceptional value, and the lowest cost combo we recommend on the entire site. It's a kit that is staggeringly better than other rod and reel combos at this price point.

Shimano Reels tested and reviewed
These reels won’t break the bank, yet offer excellent performance. The Hagane Concept ensures smooth but powerful operation.

About this listing

Headquarters and manufacturing are recorded separately, because they are often different places: a brand headquartered in one country frequently manufactures in another. Tabarnam lists what the catalog holds and marks the rest unknown. Entries come from public sources and may be incomplete or out of date — production moves.
