The Shimano Stradic FM is a high-performance spinning reel that builds upon Shimano’s legacy of durability and smoothness. It’s designed for anglers seeking reliability across various fishing conditions. Here’s an overview of its features and specifications:

Key Features

• Infinity Drive: Enhances cranking power and reduces rotational resistance, providing a smoother retrieve.

• InfinityXross: Improves gear durability by extending the gear teeth horizontally, distributing load more evenly.

• HAGANE Gear: Cold-forged gears that offer exceptional strength and durability.

• MicroModule Gear II: Provides ultra-smooth reeling by reducing gear friction.

• DuraCross Drag System: Delivers the smoothness of felt with up to 10 times the durability.

• X-Protect: Water-repellent coating and labyrinth construction prevent water ingress without adding rotational resistance.

• Anti-Twist Fin: Elastic polymer on the roller’s underside enhances line management, especially with monofilament or fluorocarbon lines.

• Long Stroke Spool: A taller spool design that improves line lay and increases casting distance.

• G-Free Body: Shifts the reel’s center of gravity closer to the rod, reducing fatigue during extended use.
