Shimano IX 4000 - REAR DRAG Spinning Reel - BRAND NEW IN PACKAGE! The Shimano IX is a lightweight, rear-drag spinning reel packed with many features to allow anglers to cast with ease and retrieve with conviction. The IX is a great option for first-time spinning reel owners or those who favor more traditional features like Shimano’s QuickFire II system. This traditional feature assists in the handling of the line and enables increased speed and control. The IX also incorporates a rear drag, a great feature that allows anglers to make drag adjustments while fighting a fish without needing to reach over the top of the spool. Please see pictures and feel free to ask any questions that you may have. New in package but plastic blister pack may be cracked in spots but has NEVER been opened! A few pics show what I’m referring to. This is just from shipping and storage. The reel itself is unused and the package protected it, which is the whole purpose of a package.
