One of the most popular performance reels of all time, with an impressive array of top-line features. The Shimano® Stradic® FM Spinning Reel brings its proven record of dependability and versatility to every cast, retrieve, hookset, and fish fight. This is the best-equipped Stradic ever; the feature list includes Shimano's most advanced technologies, such as the HAGANE® design concept with HAGANE body all-metal construction, cold-forged HAGANE Gear fabrication, MicroModule Gear II tooth design, the InfintyXross gear mesh system, and X-Ship bearing-driven pinion support to ensure smooth, strong operation at all times. The quiet, lightweight "feel" on the retrieves comes from the built-in InfinityDrive® and SilentDrive structures, aided by the balanced G-Free body design; the wobble-free rotor assembly is equipped with Shimano's new Anti-Twist Fin, which keeps mono and fluoro lines in premium condition. Meanwhile, the One-Piece Bail works in harmony with the Long Stroke Spool to promote even line lay and maximize casting distance. Full X-Protect water-repellency; 6+1 ball bearing system; all-new Duracross woven felt drag provides incredibly smooth resistance, with up to 10 times the durability of previous systems. Whether you fish fresh- or saltwater, the well-equipped Stradic FM will stack the odds in your favor!
