Shimano Super GT-RD 2500 RD
The iconic Super GT combines an elegant design with a very powerful, high-torque gear system, making it perfect for fishing with heavier feeders. Equipped with Shimano’s exclusive Fightin’ Drag technology, it is the perfect reel for playing large fish. Anyone looking to catch larger-than-average fish such as big tench, large bream, powerful chub or medium-sized carp, whether using a float or a feed basket, will be well equipped with the Super GT. The powerful gear ratio of 5.0:1 (size 2500) or 4.8:1 (size 4000) generates impressive cranking power and, in combination with the Fightin' Drag, offers extreme control through lightning-fast fine-tuning of the drag during the fight.
The smaller 2500 size is ideal for fishing with lighter floats and feeders, whilst the larger 4000 reel is better suited to larger floats and heavier feeders. The Super GT’s renowned Shimano Fightin’ Drag system is complemented by other outstanding features such as the AR-C spool, Aero Wrap II and Power Roller, which ensure excellent line lay and casting performance, as well as a lightweight yet robust XT-7 body. Thanks to its precision engineering, which includes die-cast zinc gears, the Super GT is ideal for challenging situations that put the reel to the test. Three shielded stainless steel ball bearings and a roller bearing ensure smooth running, whilst a milled aluminium handle provides extra power when reeling in.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
