The new 2025 Shimano Aero X5a 14' model is now more accurate than its predecessor. The fader itself is sleeker and certainly more pleasant in the hand, but early tests have shown that it throws a little further. No thrower (whether throwing in a run-up or sitting down) will be able to break it. In short, Shimano has concentrated not only on the power and cast of the fader, but also on the fun of fishing and working with the fish Read more about the 2025 series here:
Reel
Model designed by Fider's sports masters. Each model has its own story, tested for years and improved many times until it was fully fit for purpose. The Aero X5 is not a one-size-fits-all fyder. Each one is designed for a specific situation. Strong quality rings, very high quality limbs that don't twist when bent. The limbs come in two ring diameters. Slimmer with smaller ones, more powerful with larger ones.
This 396cm and 120g casting model is one of the top choices for river fishing when you need very heavy feeders and larger rings. All the rings on this model, from the first ring to the tip, are large. You can confidently use a Shimano Ultegra 5500 or similar size reel. This is a very powerful rod capable of casting 80-150g feeders very far. The Aero X5 120g can withstand the test of the spring Skirvytė competition, when you have to throw a 200g weight without sparing yourself or your rod.
