product description

Shimano Catana FD

Catana has been Shimano's best selling spinning reel in Europe for many years. And that is no coincidence:
The Catana is powerful, solid, runs smoothly, is very durable and all for a great price.
Compared to the previous series (FC), this reel has a new, modern and striking black stealth design.
The reel also turns very smoothly and all of its parts are designed for longevity.
Many of the internal components have been redesigned, which has greatly improved the drag power.
As a result, the reel is a lot stronger and has evolved to handle big, strong fighting fish.
The Catana is extremely versatile for predator fishing, spin fishing and trout fishing of course, but it's also very good for feeders,
match fishing and coarse fishing because it has a backstop lever, a feature which is popular with many anglers.
And now, because HG versions have been added, the reel is even more versatile than the previous generation.

Key Features:

Modern stealth looks to suit the latest fashion
Fantastic value for money, combined with excellent Shimano engineering, which can be used for a wide range of freshwater techniques
Smooth rotation feeling with less handle play for positive response
Low weight and good balance for less fatigue when fishing
Great max drag improvement for hit and hold situations
Anti reverse lever helps inexperienced anglers when fishing

Answer: You can, but it will need to be washed down with fresh water each time its used. This reel is small and designed for

Answer: wouldnt recommend it as its not sealed(bearings) for salt water get one wuth sealed bearings as salt is corrosive

Answer: no, it isn't built to handle that.

Answer: Yes you can but it doesn't hold very much line

Is it for right handed person

Answer: Yes just switch the handle to your preferred hand and the cap to the other side.

is this a good reel for fresh water trout fishing?

Answer: i would go a to a bigger reel 2000 or 2500 i use 1000 for panfish

Answer: This is an excellent reel for trout. I’ve also used it on bass and other fellow panfish. Use 2-6lb test line.

Answer: Very good for freshwater, it has no waterproofing to protect from saltwater though. It’s pretty durable so far for me and it’s solely smooth especially for the price. Anything shimano won’t let you down!

Answer: Inland? Yes, this reel would be a great reel. The drag is smooth and castability is a breeze.

Answer: Yes it is perfect for that application

Where is it made?

Answer: Malaysia

What is the line capacity?

Answer: 4/140, 6/110 is what the capacity us for mono

Answer: Only one is listed on the spool as 4lb mono at 140 yards.

Also The drag system in the back of the reel ?.

Answer: The adjustment for bv the drag is on the front of the spool.. overall I'm happy with my reel and use it as my main setup for trout fishing.

what size is this reel? and does it have a bb in line roller?

Answer: It a small reel, good for 4 to 6 lb test line. It very similar to a Sienna 1000. It has a regular spinning reel

Answer: It's been a while since I ordered it and can't recall the size or bearing set up. They come in different sizes but I usually order 2500 size or smaller. I returned it as I thought the Shimano Sienna reels at that time was a better reel for about 25% less money.

I'm looking for a Shimano spinning reel that has a trigger to open the bail

Answer: This reel does not have a trigger. You have to push the bail down by hand(thumb).

Answer: Look at the Shimano Spirex, It has a tab on the bail that controls the bail. it also has a different type handle. Some folks this handle, others don't. regards Peavine.

Answer: This model doesn't have a trigger.

Answer: Not this one

Is this reel a left or right hand retrieve??

Answer: The handle is reversible, prevent the line retriever from turning and reverse the retrieve handle and the handle will unscrew . It can then be removed and moved to the opposite

Answer: It is interchangeable, so you can place the handle on either side.

Product reviews of SHIMANO CATANA FD Spinning Reels

Cliente Amazon : Calidad shimano

Lo utilizo para pescar calamares y sepias y va fenomenal. Calidad shimano, no hay más que decir. Tengo otro sienna de 2500 y va igual de bien.

GD CHEN : The picture does not match the real thing

Rubbish scammers are of poor quality, don't believe it

Dennis Dux : empfehlenswert

Eine wunderschöne kleine Rolle...ich hab die Einheitsgrösse eine 1000er zur UL ...schön klein...geiles Gewicht..klasse verarbeitet. es passen ca 150 m 18mm schnur drauf...ich freue mich auf ein rückenschondes Angeln mehrere Stunden.. klare Empfehlung????

Amazon Kunde : Hat keine Rücklaufsperre

Friedfischangeln, da sie einen Hebel für die Rücklaufsperre hat,hatte mich auf die aussage gestützn und zum kauf entschlossen und nun ist keine vorhanden,

Julian Swistak : Viel Rolle für wenig geld

Für diese Preisklasse ist das eine sehr gute Rolle. Ich habe noch eine nachbestellt. Habe sie auf meinen UL Ruten und das funktioniert einwandfrei. Habe da eine 0.10 8fach Geflecht drauf.

Anthony C Ramirez : Excellent reel for the money.

Love this reel! Works great. Excellent quality! My go to reel for my trout pole. Great price!

Kevin Brouwers : Top Ware

Alles bestens gelaufen.

Amazon Customer : Schöne Einsteigerrolle

Die Rolle gefällt mir sehr gut, habe sie in Verbindung mit einer 5 g Spinnrute im Einsatz.

Meine subjektive Bewertung nach zwei Ausflügen:
- lässt sich prima auswerfen
- sehr Laufruhig
- Bremse ist gut justierbar
- wirkt allgemein sehr hochwertig
- Rücklaufsperre musste ich auf dem Datenblatt suchen, weil der Hebel sehr klein ist, hat mich aber nicht weiter gestört

Hab die Rolle mit 0.06 / 4,5 kg geflochtener Schnur bestückt, dies aber beim lokalen Händler machen lassen, zwei erste Schlaufen nach Auswerfen beseitigt bisher, aber jeweils einfache Schlaufen, durch händisches Abspulen der Schnur und wieder unter Zug aufspulen leicht zu beseitigen.

Roberto B. : Amazing little reel

Amazing little panfish reel. Spooled up nicely and fit on my ultralight rod. It’s lightweight and well balanced, and everything from the drag to the retrieve is silky smooth. Buy with confidence!

Lightweight and smooth as silk! Bought it for a panfish reel. Should work great.
