The Shimano Complex XR is a JDM spinning reel specially designed for finesse fishing for black bass – and is also perfect for perch fishing. Its design combines three key elements: smooth rotation, precise operation, and highest sensitivity. These features make it the ideal choice for anglers who prefer fine methods and maximum control.

Thanks to state-of-the-art Shimano technologies and a particularly low weight, the Complex XR, in combination with a lightweight perch rod, offers outstanding fishing pleasure. The precise and smooth rotation of this reel perfectly harmonizes with fine finesse rigs and light softbait methods.

Light elegance for demanding applications

With 3-4 kg drag force, the Complex XR shows that it has been optimized for fine fishing techniques. Whether fishing for perch, chub or trout - this reel masters any challenge that requires precision and feel.

The series includes two sizes:

1. 2000 size - Equipped with the Rigid Support Drag and 3 kg drag. This brake ensures jerk-free and highly precise line release, ideal for fine fluorocarbon lines and careful presentation in delicate situations.


2. 2500 size - With the Rapid Fire Drag and 4 kg drag. This brake allows lightning-fast adjustment of the drag force, perfect for reactive scenarios, such as bites in close proximity or to fend off escapes into cover.
