I received my little Nasci 500FC this morning. It is small , looks a little smaller than my other Shimano 500 reels . May be the color .
Just like the other recent Shimano 500 reels I’ve purchased, this one is smooth winding but for now it’s not a low inertia winding reel out of the box .
After applying a few drop of Lucas reel oil on the spool shaft , and siting and winding , it seems to be loosening up .
Could be like my Nasci FB 500 and new Sahara 500 , it going to need a little breaking in .
Rain outside right now and most of the day .
There’s supposed to be a break between 3-4pm , maybe I can slip off to the town pond , catch a couple and take some pics .
