Shimano Stradic FK: Every couple of years it seems Shimano grabs hold of the Stradic spin reel lineup and makes a great reel even better.
And the 2016 Shimano Stradic reels certainly continue that tradition.
First, a reel of this standing couldn’t be without the new Hagane Body.
This metal frame is highly rigid, so there’s no flexing when under load and no loss of cranking power either.
This is complemented by the Hagane Gear system.
The gear teeth are not cut but 3D-designed and cold forged for increased resilience and greater durability.
New Stradics have an additional SA-RB bearing and they all feature high 6:1 to 6.2:1 gear ratios, so cast lures will really motor on the retrieve.
Aero Wrap II, the AR-C spool, One-Piece Bail and G-Free Body all demonstrate that these reels are going to be a repetitive caster’s delight, with better balance in the hand.
While the new-generation Stradics can be used just about anywhere, the presence of Coreprotect on the roller clutch, drag, body and line roller indicates that these reels are going to be perfectly at home in the world’s harshest environment: the salt.
