For a limited period Trevs Tackle will be selling the fantastic Shimano Exage 4000 RA reel for just £34.99 each!
The Exage's outstanding beauty can't fail to impress. Supplied with a strong and light aluminium cold-forged spool, and an additional spare spool, the Exage RA has 3 Shimano AR-B ball bearings and a Shimano roller bearing that delivers an impressively smooth performance and superb cranking power. The AR-B bearings are resistant to corrosion and oxidisation, even in most extreme conditions and ensure the Exage RA will maintain its peak performance for a long time to come.
If there's one feature that puts this reel firmly at the top of the specimen tree, it has to be the Fighting Drag system. If you require an almost limitless range of drag settings at the flick of a switch to keep you in touch & control the most unexpected battles with hard fighting fish, look no further than Shimano reels fitted with fighting drag. Ergonomically positioned between the back of the body & the rear drag knob, a simple turn anti-clockwise decreases the pressure whilst a clockwise turn tensions the clutch. Start with the lever in the central position i.e. vertical and hold the hooklength (taking great care not to hook yourself! and pull the line through the rods rings making a curve in the rod. Set the rear clutch knob so that the clutch allows line to gently come away from the spool when the rod is at maximum test curve. Now you have the clutch set cast out and then switch the lever to the minimum clutch setting, this is a great buffer when a big fish takes the bait, hooks up and starts to pull the rod into the water. In effect you have a Baitrunner spool, simply pick up the rod and gently ease into the fish, try to avoid the temptation to strike the fish, as it will probably be hooked. Slowly apply the pressure with your thumb on the Fightin' drag lever clockwise - when you feel you have the desired setting to play the fish you can continue with the battle. If the fish starts to lunge and requires more line then flick the lever back to the central position and instantly you reduce the tension. It's simple, fast and effective, little wonder many top anglers now swear by Fighting Drag.
