Mikado Inazuma NG 4005FD Spinning Reel

Mikado Inazuma N.G. is an updated version of a well-known series designed as an all-round reel. It’s the kind of reel you can take for a spinning session one day and use on a float setup the next without overthinking it.

Construction and gearing

Inside, the reel runs on a smooth and stable gear system that keeps everything turning evenly. With five bearings in place, the reel feels consistent in use and doesn’t give that rough, budget feel when you start fishing.

Drag performance

The drag works in a predictable way and releases line smoothly when needed. It handles lighter setups well, but still has enough control when you hook something stronger.

On the water

This is a reel built for everyday use. It runs smoothly, doesn’t fight you during retrieves and lays the line evenly on the spool. Nothing flashy – just solid performance where it matters.

Sizes 3000 and 4000 work well for medium spinning setups targeting pike or zander. The same reel can be used for float fishing, and the larger size is also suitable for light method feeder fishing.
