Shimano Crestfire

The Shimano Crestfire is an excellent baitcasting reel choice for first timers. Its low cost and high value can be attributed to its construction from inexpensive materials. Since it is design for beginner it does not have the same enthusiast features as some of Shimano’s higher end models. Beginners will have an easy time getting accustomed to casting with this model because it has Easy Mag technology which helps prevent backlash. For experts, the magnets can be adjusted to have no resistance at all.
