Shimano - Biomaster 8000 XSB Reel

The Biomaster XS-B offers excellent casting performance thanks to the Cold Forged AR-C spool, Aerowrap II and 2 speed oscillation for excellent line lay. The 8000 size offers a good compromise between mid-sized and large "Big Pit" reels, yet still has a large line capacity (0.40mm-320m) making it suitable for large waters throughout Europe. The combination of a powerful 4.6:1 retrieve ratio, plus 3 shielded ball bearings and a roller bearing, create a strong smooth performance suitable for large predators, carp and catfish.

The traditional front drag spool offers micro adjustment and is easy to locate and change whilst playing fish.
Finished in a metallic silver the new Biomaster XS-B also offers automatic bail closure instead of the former manual version. The Biomaster XS-B is not only a great freshwater reel, it also makes an excellent surf casting reel for medium and long range fishing.
