The Shimano Stradic spinning reel offers exceptional performance and delivers an enviable combination of strength, refinement and smoothness. Backed by years of history and a faultless reputation, the next generation Stradic is a reel that consistently delivers class-leading performance.
The Stradic features some of Shimano’s very best technology, including Hagane Gear, X-Ship, Micro Module II, Silent Drive, Infinityxross and Infinitydrive. These advanced technologies are housed inside the lightweight aluminium Hagane Body, producing the unwavering powerful smoothness you feel when winding under pressure. The Duracross Drag produces precise and extremely accurate fish-playing control, even under extreme pressure. The addition of X-Protect means you can use this reel for anything from light rock fishing up to Sea Bass lure fishing in saltwater, as well as all freshwater environments. The Long Stroke AR-C spool for improved distance casting and Anti-Twist Fin for excellent line management make this long-time Shimano favourite a true pleasure to fish in many conditions.
- Hagane technology: Hagane Gear, Micro Module Gear II, X-Ship and Hagane Body, which combine to deliver optimum smoothness and reassuringly powerful rotation
- Infinity Xross delivers a more durable gear construction than the highly acclaimed Hagane Gear. This offers more durability, especially when under extreme pressure, resulting in increased lifespan of the reel
- Infinity Drive produces powerful yet lightweight rotation, especially under heavy loads. In extreme situations, you can still maintain constant, consistent cranking pressure
- For trouble-free line management, a completely new feature called Anti-Twist Fin has been developed that controls the pressure on the line that goes through the line roller onto the spool
- Duracross drag system offers improved drag smoothness, durability and hooking power
- The drag control knob and the front of the AR-C spool have been slightly modified in shape to provide a smoother profile
