For anglers wanting Shimano reliability and quality at a budget price the Alivio FD takes some beating. The silver XT-7 body contains a Shimano roller bearing and 1 stainless steel ball bearing which produces the smoothness expected from Shimano. Ideal for many freshwater situations the Alivio uses Varispeed line lay and an AR-C spool for excellent line management. Sizes range from 1000 to 4000 and includes a shallow spool 3000 size for float and spin fishing.
