The updated line of Shimano Catana FD reels features both external and internal improvements. Modifications to the 2018 Katana reels are presented in a classic dark metallic tone, the internal contents of the body and the external components of the new Katana have received effective transformations. The main advantage of the new version of Shimano Katana is the increase in power indicators with high smoothness of the running characteristics of the reel. This happened due to an increase in key indicators of the internal elements of the coil. The excellent performance of the laying system opens up access to the use of the softest braids. The rear end of the reel has additional protection, thus providing increased rigidity at the point of high reel loads.

- the design of the lightweight rotor eliminates its inertia, maintaining excellent balance of the reel during active fishing.

- the friction brake of the reel has an expanded range of adjustment - the new modification of the Katana allows the use of cords with a large interval of breaking load.

- the reel knob is implemented in a classic profile - the characteristic special coating allows you to maintain its high contact even when fishing with wet, slippery fingers.

- max. braking force: 8.5 kg
