I’ve been using the 4000 for a couple of weeks, carp feeder method fishing and with braid feeder on the Gloucester canal. Extremely impressed so far, it has a brilliant clutch. I plan to do an independent review on my TH-cam channel after further testing.
I have the 5000, use is it with the 13ft aero X5 rod. I love waggler fishing and this set up is brilliant. Silvers, F1,s or double figure carp it works really well. Effortless casting and smooth retrieval with or without fish on.
so I bought this reel for spinfishing (light-medium pike fishing) without knowing that it is branded as a feeder?? Like whats the difference to a "normal" spinning reel? I like it a lot so far for spinfishing - seems like the smaller brother of the Excsence...
No Anti-reverse its the reason I stopped buying Shimano reels, has common sense finally prevailed?!. I will drop in on my local tackle dealer to see what this reel is like. As for line reducers I have found them very useful.
What are they supposed to be retailing at roughly ?. If we're lucky enough to afford 1 . Usually with the price of 1 Shimano we can get 2 other reels that can be good.
I got one today and an Aero BB as well tbh I'm quite underwhelmed really they look plasticy even if there not. It was chucked in the box it came in no plastic bags for protection the handle was loose hitting against the spool and body. The BB ones line lay for me is not much better than a £30er it's all to the back with no spare shims and even if you take one out it flies the other way. Daiwa are also guilty of not supplying adequate washers you now get 3 thick ones thats it.
Looks smart Nick, I use Daiwa TDR 3012 and 4012 QD. Alloy body which everyone maintains is better than composite body's?as there's no flex in the body under load. So many conflicts of opinion with reel body materials
imho the 2013 Aero 4000MAFA leaves this for dead (and also comes with line reducers for all of the spools, not just for one). Sorry, used one, sent it back, not impressed but that said, reasonable value for money.

Love it for float fishing. Best reel I’ve ever used👍🎣😁
I have just got the 3000 and 4000 for feeder and bomb, absolutely brilliant 👍👍
I have a 4000 on order arriving Thursday. Looking forward to it!
Hello ,agreed with the reel quality ,bet its too small for 12 ft rods.👍
Is the body the same in the 3000 and in the 4000? Saying is the diference only in the spool? Thanks for this great review!
Thanks Paul great video if you had to choose one would it be the Shimano or the Preston

Do you think it is suitable for a Fox X4 12ft barbell rod? 2.75lbs. Or is it too small?
@@rolandmarkus6188 Yes 11kg of drag will do the work
Love Shimano cant you do a back drag as well.

They look a bit smart Nick, are they readily available?

Can you tell me which bearings are needed in the knob and which ones in the line layer? Size c5000.

Hi hello thank you for the video how much does the real cost thank you
Sorry but the 5000 is too small. Shimano haven’t got the sizing correct.
It's the same size as the 4000.

Hi.. Is it saltwater approved and can we use it for lure casting
Shame , needs 6.2 ratio like the xg /hgfa ci4 aero's of old. The last decent feeder reel they did.

i have the old areo 4000 and a ultraga 5500, so thought the xr 5000 would be a good distance reel, NO, it no bigger than the old aeros
Please help, i broke my 0.25oz quivertip on aero x7 finesse. Where i can buy it please??

This is a spining reel … nothing to do with long range fishing .. ☹️ just looking at the spool is a big .. no ..
