Shimano North America Fishing released the Stradic FM reel, an addition to its Stradic line of spinning reels, debuting at the upcoming ICAST trade show in Orlando, FL.
“The Shimano team is extremely excited to introduce the Stradic FM reel to anglers around the world,” said Bob Mahoney, Freshwater product marketing manager for Shimano North America Fishing. “The Stradic FM represents the most complete Stradic in a long lineage of performance, delivering the perfect balance of power, smoothness and reliability that our customers have come to expect from Shimano.”
Inspired by the technological innovations in the Stella family of reels, the Stradic FM reel adds InfinityXross Technology extending the gear tooth horizontally to distribute the load more evenly. The addition of Shimano’s Infinity Drive delivers light rotation and increased cranking power under load, while the new Duracross Drag system provides smooth, consistent performance. The ergonomic design minimizes fatigue.
The Stradic FM reel “guarantees whisper-quiet” operation and casting performance. Shimano’s X-Protect water-repellent coating and precisely designed, water-channeling labyrinth construction, stop water penetration in key areas. Anglers can “achieve maximum line management” through the new Anti-Twist Fin, an elastic polymer on the underside of the roller.
Shimano North America Fishing will be at Booth #2144 at the ICAST show to learn more.
