Shimano Nexave FJ 1000 Spinning Reel

The Shimano Nexave FJ 1000 Spinning Reel packs plenty of Shimano know-how into a compact reel that’s ready to get stuck into lure fishing! With a rigid body, smooth winding and clever line-management features, it’s a ripper choice for anglers chasing a reliable reel without making things complicated.

Rigid Body Design

The high-strength resin body is built to minimise flex, while the handle is engineered to resist bending for a solid, confident feel on the retrieve. It’s got the rigidity to handle modern fishing styles, including setups that make plenty of use of PE lines.

AR-C Spool

The AR-C Spool is shaped to help control how line comes off the spool, giving you smoother line flow and more precise line stacking. During the cast, that clever design helps the line release smoothly and can improve casting distance by approximately 15% compared with reels without an AR-C Spool.

Line Compatibility

Whether you’re fishing nylon, fluorocarbon or PE, the AR-C Spool is designed to deliver smooth, comfortable casting across all three line types. That makes the Nexave a handy all-rounder when you like to mix up your fishing and chase different species.

Anti-Twist Fin

The Anti-Twist Fin helps keep the line under control when you’re winding in slack, helping prevent it from dropping off the spool skirt or overflowing. Working alongside the AR-C Spool, it helps keep line trouble to a minimum so you can spend less time sorting your line and more time fishing.

SilentDrive

SilentDrive has been designed to cut down minute rattles, gaps and movement between the reel’s internal components, giving you a smoother and quieter winding feel. The drive gear, worm shaft, oscillating gear and other drive-related parts have all been refined to improve stability through the retrieve.

G Free Body

G Free Body moves the oscillation mechanism components higher in the reel body, shifting the centre of gravity closer to your hand for a more balanced feel. It helps the reel sit naturally with the rod, making repeated casts and lure work feel more comfortable when you’re putting in a big session.

Versatile Fishing Performance

The Nexave range covers sizes from 1000 to C5000, with applications spanning freshwater lure fishing through to light saltwater fishing, sea bass and surf. The 1000 size is a great fit for anglers chasing bass and trout or getting stuck into lighter fishing applications.
