NEW Shimano Nasci 2021 - Best BANG For Your Buck

[@rogerjones1628]

I have 5 of the gen one NASCI 3000's a couple of them are 5 years old. They have caught a lot of fish and are still just as smooth as day one... it has my vote for the Best $100 reel on the market

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

You have been holding out on me! Haha. That’s really great to hear that they have solid longevity.

[@JoshuaCussins]

Just ordered the new Shimano Nasci C3000. Cant wait to get her rigged up. Thanks for the input. Professional Fisherman recommend this reel to me.

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

You are going to love it. I’ll probably get a 2500 soon.

[@shadypiratefishing4127]

That VANFORD is a BAD reel. Love mine. The OG Nasci has been a solid reel for me as well. I’ve been eye balling the new Nasci 1000 size for crappie/freshwater trout. Can’t wait to see your follow up video.

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

I agree with you. I’m excited to see how this one performs on the water. I hope to have something soon.

[@432fishing3]

Good stuff man!

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

Thanks brotha!

[@andrewwolf4963]

Dude my local shop has the new Nasci on a St Croix Victory rod as a combo lined with power pro 10 or 20lb for 319

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

That’s not a bad deal if you are looking for an entire combo.

[@highcj5733]

Can’t wait for a follow up

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

I have to catch some fish with it now.

[@MatthewTN1]

Need to know about this. I got a couple rods who need a new reel.

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

Im going to fish it hard the next few weeks and make a video.

[@chriswilke]

Is this comparable to the penn battle 3s? Its around the same price range....is this like a chevy/Ford thing if they both do about the same thing?

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

Great question. I haven’t fished a battle 3 before but my brother in law loves his. I think you are right in that it’s all about the brand that you like. As far as Shimano, they are upgrading their lower end reels to compliment their upper end.

[@victorbanta]

Hi..how about the reel foot did it flex?

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

It does flex a little bit. Not enough to concern me though.

[@raj1634]

what would u pair nasci 3000 reel? will a 4 to 6 kg rod be ok with it?

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

That would actually be perfect. That’s what I have mine on now.

[@raj1634]

Thank you bro, What braid are using and lbs test bro

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

@@raj1634 This is 15lb PowerPro

[@raj1634]

Thank you man will follow your setup

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

@@raj1634 you will love it!

[@lakaybadboy8083]

Wat rod would be a good match with 3k nasci 🤙

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

Hey buddy. I honestly think it would be more tailored to what type of fishing you are doing. I paired it with a 6-14lb rod for mixed inshore use (drum, trout, flounder) and mixed nearshore use (Spanish and Albies). It would be a great reel for a 4-10lb rod and a great reel for 8-17. Of course you would want to adjust your braid size to whatever application you are going for.

[@attilapala1814]

2021 Nasci wormshaft?

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

I’m not sure what that means.

[@josephmurphy4451]

Misleading naming of the video. How about doing the review after you fished it. I can look at the damn reel all day long on line...

[@ericwilliamsfishing]

84 likes on that video and 1 dislike - 2 if you do me the favor and dislike it. I’ve made 4 other videos where I’m actually fishing it and it’s as solid as they come. Next time, turn the video off if it upsets you enough to curse in my comment section.

[@josephmurphy4451]

@@ericwilliamsfishing Not upset, more annoyed than anything. I just had the same reel delivered to my house yesterday so was looking for a video of someone actually fishing it. Didn't know giving constructive criticism would hurt your feelings so much or was it "damn". Either way, if this is the worst feedback you've received you must be doing something right. I'll be sure to watch the other videos you have actually fishing with the product to get you those extra views.
