Shimano Alivio FA Spinning Reel

The Alivio FA series reels offer great quality and reliability at a very low price.

These are reels that can be used for various fishing styles: from bottom fishing to predator fishing, both in fresh and saltwater.

In fact, they are very robust and resistant, featuring an aluminum spool capable of withstanding enormous strain, with an AR-C design for longer casts.

The medium-sized Alivio combines excellent value and affordability with powerful, no-nonsense performance. An ideal reel for larger fish or even light surfcasting, the Alivio can be used for a wide variety of fishing methods in both fresh and saltwater.
The first thing you will notice about the Alivio is the combination of its larger size and elegant matte black body with burnished metal inserts. The large 6000 and 10000 sizes are the perfect choice if you are looking for a versatile, larger-sized reel to use for carp, large predators, or even light surfcasting. During use, the rotor turns with superlative smoothness and power, as the bearings work in perfect harmony with the gears. When fighting larger fish, you can rely on the excellent multi-disc front drag to manage the retrieve with confidence. It can apply up to 8 kg of drag, providing all the stopping power needed to maintain complete control of fast-running fish.
Internally, the Alivio features a 1+1 bearing layout that maintains smooth performance even when subjected to excessive pressure, which allows it to be used for a wide range of medium and heavy fishing styles. The 4.9:1 gear ratio and medium body size make fishing with sinkers or heavy lures significantly easier than using smaller reels. Supplied with a super-strong aluminum spool, suitable for both mono and braided lines, the Alivio is also equipped with AR-C line management technology and Varispeed line lay, which ensure maximum casting performance, even with large weights and lures.
