1. HAGANE GEAR delivers a long lasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel.
2. X-SHIP enhances the smooth operation of the reel, while improving power transmission from the handle to the rotor.
3. SILENT DRIVE is a refinement of all internal moving components which produces a smoother, silent operation.
4. G FREE BODY moves the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod which improves balance and casting control.
5. CI4+ CONSTRUCTION of the body and rotor reduces weight whilst retaining strength and rigidity for maximum winding efficiency.
6. ANTI-REVERSE LEVER enables the reel to be set with the antireverse activated, or deactivated (backward rotation enabled).
7. AR-C SPOOL ensures the line leaves the spool with minimum friction for longer casts with both mono and braided lines.
8. AERO WRAP delivers a superb line profile on the spool and ensures smoother line flow from the spool when casting.
9. FRONT DRAG offers increased fish-playing control by using a waterproof multi-disc design that is infinitely adjustable.
10. FOLDING SCREW-IN HANDLE winds directly into the main gear for a solid connection with no additional movement.

If you are a competition angler and want a reel to match your ability, the AERO XR is the solution. All of the reels balance perfectly with Shimano’s best AERO match and feeder rods, giving you an enviable combination that offer a competitive advantage. The smallest 3000 size is perfect for all float fishing and close range feeder fishing, the mid-sized 4000 is ideal for larger float work or mid range feeder fishing and the largest 5000 size is ideal for longer feeder work or mid-range heavy feeder work. With a G Free Ci4+ body and rotor all models are remarkably light, with the 4000 size weighing only 250g. An additional advantage which you can feel is the precision of the lightweight rotation, which is a result of the Ci4+ Rotor construction and the HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, SilentDrive technology. Additional features include the best AR-C Cold Forged Aluminium spools, (including a spare spool) with a line reducer to reduce the line capacity of the reel. The larger 5000 model has an additional reducer for use with braid when feeder fishing at long range. Power is delivered by a very direct screw in handle and a metal line clip, that is strong and line-safe, reinforces the XR’s feeder fishing pedigree. Visually, the understated ‘stealth-like’ looks of the AERO XR are stunning and combined with the advanced engineering technology can’t fail to inspire your confidence to perform at the highest level.

KEEPNETS The AERO Pro Keepnets are designed to cope with the stresses and strains of modern match fishing and offer a great combination of high quality fish care with the strength and durability to deal with the rigours of weighing in large catches. All rings are made from strong extruded anodised aluminium tube which retains the rectangular shape and integrity better than plastic alternatives and the bottom three rings are externally positioned to prevent rubbing of the mesh on the ring corners. This significantly increases the longevity of the net, especially when used for match carp fishing or on flowing rivers. The top ring is fitted with an ultra strong polycarbonate (ABS) block that has a screw tight multi-position design enabling you to achieve the perfect top ring angle to suit your preference. In keeping with the very best fish welfare standards, the ultra soft mesh is very fish friendly and the fine mesh size reduces snagging and laddering. On the base of the net is a retention loop which enables you to pin your nets down. The AERO Pro Keepnets have a diameter of 50cm x 40cm and are available is two sizes - 2.5m and 3.0m.
LANDING NETS The AERO Pro Landing Net range has been designed to offer a great combination of practicality and reliability, whilst maintaining high fish welfare standards. The frame of the net is made from a strong, durable, lightweight extruded anodised aluminium, which will keep its shape under the most demanding situations, even when large fish are encountered. This is secured into a high-impact, ultra strong polycarbonate (ABS) spreader block using a dual screw attachment for fail-safe performance and finished with a standard 3/8” metal screw thread. There are a wide range of sizes available to cover all situations and preferences. At the smaller end of the scale, the 14” (36cm) is perfect for canal sized silver fish, the 16” (40cm) and 18” (46cm) are great for larger silver fish or smaller F1 carp and the largest 20” (50cm) and 22” (56cm) cover the biggest ‘commercial’ carp. The extruded aluminium frame diameter is the same for all nets, so if you are the type of angler who prefers to use smaller nets for match carp fishing, you won’t have to sacrifice strength. The soft fish-friendly mesh is of a two size design, with a larger diameter 5mm side wall and a finer 3mm bottom mesh to reduce snagging of hooks and hair rigs whilst retaining the ability to move the net swiftly through the water when netting.
NET HANDLES The AERO Pro Landing Net Handle series is a premium range of stunning handles made from high modulus HPC carbon for lightness, stiffness and strength. With a choice of 3 options, covering both silver fish, match carp and a versatile multi-length version, the AERO Pro Landing Net Handles are some of the most advanced available. For silver fish,the Pro Light is the model to choose. This two sectioned 3.00m model is super light, slim and stiff making it perfect for fast handling in match fishing conditions. For larger fish, match sized carp and when using large landing net heads, the 3.00 Pro Power version is the perfect choice. This handle is ultra strong, with the power to net and manoeuvre big fish about with complete confidence. For additional versatility a 0.5m extension is available that fits both handles. For the ultimate in performance, and perfectly suited to anglers who fish a variety of venues, the Pro Multi is the ultimate choice. The multi-piece design can be used from 3.00m up to 4.50m. Comprising three sections, plus a 0.50m extension, the two slimmest sections both have a screw thread fitting for connecting to a landing net head.

AERO Competition
COMPETITION NET HANDLE Designed for competition fishing, the AERO Competition Landing Net Handle is a high quality carbon net handle that combines strength and stiffness with versatility and can be used at 2.90m and 4.00m lengths. One of the biggest advantages of the AERO Competition is its versatility as it can be used at two lengths. At its full 4m length it makes a great natural venue silver fish net and at 2.9m it is perfect for commercial match fisheries containing carp of all sizes. The impressive specifications includes a Full Carbon cross wrap blank (not heavy, thick walled composite), which is stiff and strong, making it great for scooping large carp using the 2.90m length, when building a big weight, or reaching a bream at full 4.00m length on a shallow natural venue. Stainless Steel threads, which have been double pinned and glued, make sure this handle will never let you down when you need it most and both the 4m and 2.9m sections have an anti-slip area to ensure increased grip when wet. If you are looking for a ‘one-handle’ solution for all of you fishing, on both commercial or natural venues, the AERO Competition is the wise choice.

Line The AERO line range covers just about all competition requirements where monofilament line is required. Produced in Japan to the very highest tolerances, AERO lines are used by some of the world’s finest match anglers. AERO Float mono is a high quality, low stretch mono designed primarily for float fishing, which in the two strongest options can also be used for competition feeder fishing. AERO Slick Silk is a super strong, supple line that has been specifically designed for hooklengths and pole rigs. With a massive linear strength, the clear colour and supple nature offers the very best in bait presentation. AERO Silk Shock Fluorocarbon is a highly technical hooklength line made from 100% fluorocarbon. With a refractive index very close to that of water, in clear conditions it offers a noticeable advantage when compared to mono.
FLOAT AERO Float mono is a high quality, low stretch mono designed primarily for float fishing, which in the two strongest options can also be used for competition feeder fishing on natural venues due to its semi-buoyant, high strength properties. The high performance nature of the AERO Float mono makes it the natural choice for top competition anglers. Beautifully supple, it enables the most precise float control and the impressively high strength to diameter ratio enables you to drop down a diameter size. Also, for feeder anglers fishing for silver fish on natural lakes, rivers or canals, the semi-buoyant nature of the line can be made to sink by applying a small amount of detergent to the line before fishing.

SLICK SILK
SILK SHOCK FLUORO
AERO Slick Silk is a super strong, supple line that has been specifically designed for hooklengths and pole rigs. With a massive linear strength and equally impressive knot strength, the clear colour and supple nature of AERO Slick Silk offers the very best in bait presentation. Shimano AERO Slick Silk is an accurately calibrated line enabling you to choose the exact size you want with confidence. Available on 100m spools for cost effective rig making, or for batch tying of hooks, it works perfectly for the smallest baits and hooks in the finer sizes whilst having the strength to deal with the largest match-sized carp in the larger diameters.
AERO Silk Shock Fluorocarbon is a highly technical hooklength line made from 100% fluorocarbon. With a refractive index very close to that of water, in clear conditions it offers a noticeable advantage when compared to mono. AERO Silk Shock Fluorocarbon is remarkably strong for its diameter and compares very favourably with the AERO Slick Silk, which is one of the strongest lines available in the hooklength market. It is also very robust making in a must when fishing close to snags, mussel beds or rocky and gravel bottoms when feeder fishing. As an added advantage, AERO Silk Shock Fluorocarbon also has a low memory, which further increases the ease of use.
