Shimano 20 Barchetta F Custom 151DHXG Left

The Shimano 20 Barchetta F Custom 151DHXG is the lightest baitcasting reel in Shimano’s lineup equipped with a fall lever, enabling precise and controlled lure drop. It inherits core technologies like HAGANE Body and X-Protect from the premium Barchetta series while shedding over 30g through optimized materials and parts. The 8.1:1 high-gear DHXG model excels for metal squid jigs, while the fall lever gives anglers fingertip control over slow-fall presentations for both bait and lure fishing.
