Highlights

Small on purpose

A 2000 spool on a 1000 body, with a shallow spool sized for fine braid. Everything about this reel is chosen to keep weight off the front of a light rod.

225 g

Light enough to balance a finesse rod, which is the whole point of a reel this size.

Shallow spool (S)

Holds the right amount of fine braid without wasting a spool of backing underneath.

Compact C body

A 2000-size spool on a 1000-size body - more capacity for the same weight.

G-Free body and AR-C spool

Shimano's balance and casting geometry, at the entry price.

Product description

About this product

Nexave C2000s Spinning Reel – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.

Light-tackle fishing is a matter of balance. Put a 4000 reel on a 6 ft finesse rod and the outfit hangs nose-down and tires your wrist in twenty minutes; put the right reel on it and you can fish all day. The Nexave C2000S is Shimano’s entry-price answer to that, at 225 grams.

Two letters explain the model. The C means a compact body – a 2000-size spool fitted to a 1000-size chassis, so you get the capacity of the larger size at the weight of the smaller. The S means a shallow spool, which matters more than it sounds with braid: fine PE line takes up very little room, and a deep spool would need half a reel of backing underneath before the braid even started. A shallow spool skips that.

Three kilos of maximum drag and 66 cm of retrieve per crank at 5.0:1 tell you what it is for: small lures, fine leaders and fish that are caught rather than hauled. Around Dar es Salaam that means light jetty and creek work, mullet and small snapper, and the lakes and rivers inland for tilapia, small tigerfish and bass.

It carries the same G-Free body and AR-C spool as the rest of the Nexave range – Shimano’s balance and casting geometry – with a graphite body and 3+1 bearings. It is not a saltwater reel in the sealed sense, so rinse and dry it after any sea use.

Questions

Good to know

What does C2000S actually mean?

C = compact body, so a 2000-size spool is fitted to a 1000-size chassis. 2000 = the spool size. S = shallow spool, designed for fine braid without needing backing underneath. Together: the lightest way to carry 2000-size capacity.

Is 3 kg of drag enough?

For what this reel is for, yes - light lures, fine leaders and modest fish. If you expect something that needs more than 3 kg to stop, you want a 4000-size reel and a heavier rod.

What rod should I pair it with?

A light spinning rod of 6 ft to 7 ft rated around 3-15 g. Our Noeby Leisure K4 S704 is a good match at 142 g - the two together make a balanced light outfit.

What can I catch with it around Dar es Salaam?

Light inshore work - mullet, small snapper, small queenfish off a jetty or a creek mouth - and inland, tilapia, bass and small tigerfish on the lakes, dams and rivers.

Can I use it in the sea?

For light inshore fishing yes, with a proper fresh-water rinse afterwards. It is not sealed and it is not a reel to take offshore.

What do the letters after the model number mean?

On Shimano spinning reels the two-letter code is drag type plus generation: F = front drag, and the second letter steps forward with each new release (FC, FE, FI, FJ and so on). A C in front of the size means a compact body carrying a larger spool - a C3000 is a 3000 spool on a 2500 body. HG means high gear, XG extra-high gear, PG power gear, and S a shallow spool.

Should I put mono or braid on it?

Braid, almost certainly. The shallow spool is designed for it, and fine PE gives you the casting distance and bite detection that light-lure fishing depends on. Add a fluorocarbon leader.

How do I look after a reel in salt water?

Rinse it under a gentle spray of fresh water after every sea session - never a hard jet, which drives salt past the seals - then stand it upright to drain and dry. Back the drag right off before storage so the washers are not compressed, and put a drop of reel oil on the handle knob and bail pivot every few trips. Neglected salt is what kills reels here, far more than use does.
