Viewer's Choice Winning Fishing Reels
ICAST & Summer Releases
Dominating the Viewer's Choice Awards for Best New Bass Fishing Reels, Shimano takes down the entire category with the introduction of the Miravel Spinning Reel and a 200-size extension of the famed Curado DC baitcasting platform. Clearly many anglers were excited to see DC technology integrated into a higher capacity casting reel by earning 40% of the vote, and on the spinning side, the Miravel impressed with loads of top-notch Shimano features and an affordable price point. On a hot streak and proving to be a fan favorite for new bass fishing reels, Shimano has won at least one category for three years running and has swept the Viewer’s Choice pick for both best casting and best spinning reel two years in a row!
