Stradic FM

Shimano's Stradic FM is the new generation of this front drag reel that made fishing history! It combines excellent performance, enviable strength, incredible smoothness and a modern design, to offer an extremely versatile reel! Backed by years of history and an excellent reputation, the new Stradic FM sits squarely in the middle of the Shimano Coresolid range and offers a remarkable amount of advanced technology. It's strong and powerful enough for the use of heavy lures and to fight big prey and, at the same time, it's incredibly fluid to offer precision when necessary, improving the fishing experience in all situations, both sea fishing than in fresh water. On a technological level it features some of the best Shimano technologies, including HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, Micro Module II, Silent Drive, INFINITYXROSS and INFINITYDRIVE. All these technologies are enclosed within a lightweight HAGANE aluminum body, which generates an unshakable and powerful smoothness that is felt when winding under pressure. The DURACROSS drag produces precise and extremely accurate control, even under extreme pressure. The addition of The AR-C Long Stroke spool to improve distance casting and the ANTI-TWIST fin for excellent line management make this model a real pleasure to use in many conditions!

INFINITY XROSS
It's an advanced transmission technology that uses gears with wider teeth. The larger surface area distributes pressure more evenly across the entire face of the teeth when they meet during rotation. Compared to traditional gears, INFINITYXROSS increases service life by 100% without affecting fluidity. Advantages: INFINITYXROSS offers longer life, especially in extreme pressure conditions, resulting in an increase in reel life. This allows the reel to work at its maximum performance for longer and without loss of power.

INFINITY DRIVE
It's the evolution of the conventional X-SHIP, made even more powerful. Winding resistance has been significantly reduced by supporting the main shaft, which was previously supported by a pinion, with a special low-friction bushing. In addition, by applying a special surface treatment and special machining to the main shaft itself, the rotation torque is significantly reduced.
Advantages: Thanks to the INFINITY DRIVE it will be possible to recover in a much more fluid and precise way even under high pressure.

ANTI-TWIST FIN
It's a removable elastic fin (to be removed only if you use lines greater than 0.47mm or with big knots), placed on the rotor next to the line guide. It's designed to create the perfect tension between the line and the spool and ensure better line management efficiency, especially when using the soft and thin braid.
Advantages: The ANTI-TWIST FIN is particularly useful for those who fish with thin diameters or very soft lines and braids. If the line between the reel and the lure loosens when retrieve is stopped, or immediately after casting, the ANTI-TWIST FIN prevents the line from coming out of the line guide, avoiding any problems whatsoever.

DURACROSS DRAG
It's an advanced drag construction that combines the best features of felt washers with the longer life of crossed carbon washers.
Advantages: DURACROSS DRAG is a fantastic combination of fluidity and durability. Provides enough starting power for effective shoeing, and smoothness and durability for a better fighting fishing experience.
