Shimano Stradic FM Spinning Reel
The Shimano Stradic FM Spinning Reel is renowned for its performance, dependability, and versatility, equipped with advanced Shimano technologies for exceptional results in both freshwater and saltwater conditions. The reel features HAGANE® design for robust all-metal construction, cold-forged HAGANE Gear, and MicroModule Gear II for smooth, strong operation. Its InfinityXross gear mesh and X-Ship pinion support ensure precise gear engagement, while InfinityDrive® and SilentDrive deliver a quiet, lightweight retrieval feel.
The reel’s Anti-Twist Fin ensures smooth line lay, reducing line twist. The One-Piece Bail and Long Stroke Spool optimize casting distance, and X-Protect ensures water resistance. With a Duracross woven felt drag that provides up to 10 times the durability of previous systems, the Stradic FM ensures smooth drag performance for every fishing encounter.
