SHIMANO 25 SOARE XR 500SPG

The Shimano Soare XR 500 (SOARE XR 500SPG) is a dedicated light game spinning reel built for true finesse LRF — the kind of tiny-lure, fine-line fishing where feel and a buttery-smooth drag decide whether you land the bite. In the compact 500 size it is purpose-made for ultralight rock fishing, the lightest aji and mebaru-style tactics, and micro plugging.

Key features

• Dedicated light game (LRF) reel in the micro 500 size — ideal for sub-3g jig heads and tiny lures
• CI4+ construction keeps the reel feather-light over long sessions of repeated casting
• MicroModule Gear for an exceptionally smooth, refined retrieve and high sensitivity
• X-Protect water-repellent treatment for resilience against salt spray
• Silent Drive for tight, rattle-free rotation and improved bite detection
• Tuned for fine PE and fluorocarbon, with a smooth low-friction drag for delicate hook-holds

Who it's for / UK use

A natural fit for UK light rock fishing (LRF) over harbour walls, marks and estuaries — chasing mini species, wrasse, scad and pollack on tiny soft plastics and metals. The light, sensitive feel also suits ultralight perch finesse on inland venues.

A genuine JDM import, with UK delivery from Britannic Trade.
