The Shimano Stradic FM Spinning Reel brings technologies developed for Shimano's flagship reels into a versatile CoreSolid platform designed for both freshwater and inshore applications. InfinityXross extends the gear teeth horizontally to distribute load across a greater surface area, improving gear durability while complementing the cold-forged HAGANE Gear and refined MicroModule II gearing. InfinityDrive reduces rotational resistance while increasing cranking power under load, providing a smooth, powerful feel when fighting fish.
The Duracross Drag system combines the smooth performance associated with traditional felt drag washers with significantly improved durability, while X-Protect helps prevent water intrusion into critical areas without adding excessive rotational resistance. Shimano's Anti-Twist Fin uses an elastic polymer beneath the line roller to improve line management and reduce slack-line issues, particularly when fishing monofilament or fluorocarbon. Together, these technologies make the Stradic FM a refined, durable spinning reel for anglers who need smooth performance across a wide range of techniques.
Key Features
Showcasing reel technologies passed down from Shimano's flagship spinning reels, the redesigned Stradic FM adds InfinityXross technology for unequaled gear durability and synergy by extending the gear tooth horizontally to distribute load across the gear tooth more evenly
This parlays Shimano's legacy of cold-forged HAGANE gearing for added strength with the refinement of MicroModule II for the ultimate reeling experience
The addition of InfinityDrive delivers light rotation and increased cranking power under load, while the new Duracross Drag system provides the smooth performance of felt with up to 10 times the durability
Shimano's X-Protect water-repellent coating and specially designed, water-channeling labyrinth construction ensure a lifetime of dependable performance by stopping water penetration in key areas without adding a heavy rotational feel
