The Shimano Soare BB C2000SSPG is Shimano's 2022 entry point into the Soare light-game range — a compact, precision-built spinning reel engineered in Japan specifically for finesse lure fishing with light jigheads, micro-soft-plastics, and split-shot rigs. If you are looking for the Shimano Soare BB C2000SSPG to use in the UK, this is the genuine Japanese-market version, imported direct from Japan.
The C2000 compact body keeps the reel feather-light in hand, while the SS (Super Shallow) spool is shaped to carry thin-diameter lines — PE braid or light fluorocarbon — with consistent, tangle-free lay. The PG (Power Gear) 4.6:1 ratio is deliberately slow by modern standards: it gives you full feel over each turn of a micro jighead, letting you work 1–3 g soft plastics with the kind of deliberate cadence that tempts cautious fish. Maximum drag sits at 3 kg — more than adequate for the technique, and well-balanced to the C2000 frame so you are never over-gunned on light tippet.
In UK waters this reel is at home on the rocks at dusk, chasing mini-species such as wrasse, blennies, and gobies on 1–2 g jigheads — exactly the Light Rock Fishing (LRF) discipline that has grown rapidly among British sea anglers. Pair it with 6–8 lb fluorocarbon or PE #0.3–0.4 and a 6–7 ft UL/L spinning rod for an outfit that punches well above its £124 price point. Freshwater anglers will find it equally capable for perch on drop-shot, river trout on ultra-light spinners, and chub on small soft baits.
