Shimano is one of the most famous names in fishing industry and sports fishing as well and is a very popular company in the world. The company was originally founded in Japan in the 1920s, and specializes in producing bearings and gearing for fishing.
If you want to find Shimano products, you can use several different avenues. First of all, you can head down to the companies' fishing department in your favorite sporting goods store, or go on the Internet. No matter which one you decide to do, be sure you know what you're looking for before you go and purchase something. If you want to purchase Shimano fishing reels for a cheaper price and save a lot of money, then going to their website is definitely the best way.
You can also search the other discount websites and find used or discounted products. Very simply, there are many other websites on the Internet that sell these reels at a cheaper rate than you can find on their official website, so checking these out is definitely a good option. Of course, you can find great Shimano products on eBay; you can save a lot of money with this method as well.
If you want the latest company fishing equipment, the Curado 200 series is practically a legend in the fishing industry, as it is one that just keeps working year after year. This is one of the best reels that money can purchase, as it is able to bear in an incredible 12 pounds of pressure.
The Shimano products range from rods, Reels, gear and everything related with fishing. With the focus being on the reels, Shimano has a great selection to choose from. Conventional reels, Low Profile Bait casting reels, Round Bait casting reels, Offshore Spinning reels and Spinning reels are some of the reels available through Shimano.
Conventional reels include reels for the saltwater angler such as the Trinidad DC. This reel is an exceptional choice for saltwater anglers due to its digital braking system. With an 8 step adjustment knob you can control the mode of the reel from an ultra long cast mode to a maximum control mode.
The Tekota reel is a conventional reel that is great for both freshwater fish and saltwater fish. Saltwater anglers will appreciate its strength and durability while the freshwater angler will appreciate its line capacity.
The spinning reels that Shimano offers include the Spirex FG. This reel was designed for simple one handed casts and has A-RB bearings which produces a smooth retrieval of the line. The Sahara would be the choice for light saltwater fishing or freshwater fishing. The line capacity and many features this reel has to offer make it the reel for offshore fishing. The Stella FD has a magnesium frame and an aluminum rotor which makes this reel light weight and durable. It also has a gear coating on top of the normal gear coating that will ensure the durability of this spinning reel.
Being in the business for more than 80 years, the Shimano Company has produced high quality products though out the world. Their products have been improved upon and perfected to the company's highest standard and to the standards of many anglers.

QUESTION:
Good fishing rod and reel combos for ohio?
I've prett much barrowed other people fishing rods when i go fishing off my uncles boat and was wondering what a good rod and reel combo would be good to use in ohio may be more than one for each type of fish!-
ANSWER:
I have a Bill Dance select series by quantum, they have the best bait casting combos of all I've used and the price is great, averaging from 50 to 70 bucks. If bait casters aren't your thing, than a Penn brand is best, they last a long time are a hold a lot of line, the rods they make are great to.A good all around action is medium light they can small pike, large mouth, small mouth, walleye and and big pan fish (if you go after pan fish the most than go with ultra light or light action reel)
As far as line pound test, than 12 to 17 lb is good for bass and walleye go up to 20 for pike the best brand is in my opinion sufix, and Berkly Trilene is best. If braids your thing, than i would get spider wire or power pro.

QUESTION:
Fishing experts... part 2?
OK. Firstly I am very aware of having to buy a fishing license as Ive said I have been fishing quite a bit, albeit unsuccesfully.What I really want to know is...
How I should set up my line. I.e.
- red/white plastic ball float
- 30cm down put the hook
- another 20/30cm down put a 10 gram weight.
- Use either boilies or maggots as bait.Will this set up actually catch any fish in the River Itchen. The exact location is given in this website I found which says I can fish for free in certain parts mentioned:
http://www.dofreefishing.com/southernhampshire.html
(One of the first two locations in Winchester
Secondly. I have found these rod/reel combos on ebay, will they be OK? Im looking to go once every couple of months not alot, and to actually catch a decent sized fish will be an achievement. Although I dont want to be mugged off with a kiddies set or anything.Here are the links:

Which one would you recommend? Im not keen on the telescopic rods but they are easier to handle and cheaper.
And finally... What size hook would you recommend, and since you know the location is a free fishing place does that mean it must be barbless or can you have non barbless. And this may seem novice but the fish must be returned is that correct?
Thanks for all your help.

ANSWER:
For river fishing i would generally use either maggots or worms as bait, it depends on what you're aiming to catch.This is quite a good set up for rivers: http://www.northamptonneneanglingclub.co.uk/Floats%20and%20Rigs.htm
As for buying a rod/reel off ebay, i would visit your local tackle shop first. They might be able to do you a deal if you're buying the rod and the reel. Although they may be a bit more expensive it's worth it, especially as cheap reels can be so frustrating! And you never know, if you get into it you may begin to go more often.
I would use whisker barbed hooks, they are easier to get out. Possibly size 12, depending on bait and what you're fishing for.
I'm not sure about the keepnets thing, i just put them back anyway.
Finally, remember that closed season for rivers, streams and drains is March 15th - June 15th to allow fish to spawn and it's quite a big fine if you're caught fishing between these dates!
