Quick Overview

The Shimano Surf Leader Ci4+ 35 SD is a premium surf reel designed for anglers seeking low weight, high power, and reliable performance during long-distance casting. It is an excellent choice for surfcasting and shore fishing, especially when line control, a stable drag, and precise line lay of monofilament or PE line are important.
