Shimano Fire Blood 1000

Priced between the Shimano Stella and the Aspire series, you get the best of both worlds with the fabulous new Fire Bloods. There are three reel sizes, the 1000FA, 2500FA and 4000FA - which covers everything from ultra light estuary Squidgy work right up to inshore Snapper, and even getting some light tackle jollies spinning into surface churning tuna and spotty mackerel schools. With their dark grey bodies and red trim, the Fire Bloods are particularly eye-catching. They also match beautifully with the Fire Blood rods that have been specifically developed to suit them. With Stella-like construction, the Fire Blood reels make use of Shimano's SR Concept, where they are designed to be Smooth, Silent, Strong and Reliable, no matter what fishing pressure they are placed under. They also have Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement, where a cold forged aluminium drive gear and hardened brass pinion combine to provide unsurpassed gear smoothness.
