DESCRIPTION
The Stradic Is Already A Well Known And Highly Appreciated Spinning Reel Which Is Used By Hundred Of Thousands Anglers, All Over The World. Already For Years And Years, All These Anglers Have The Same Experience About Stradic: Strong And Reliable, A Reel Which Will Never Let Them Down.
The New Stradic Fl - Successor Of The Fk - Will Of Course Carry This Same Identity: Strong And Reliable.
However, There Are Some New Exciting Features On The Fl: 1.
Rotation Smoothness (Micromodule Ii, Silent Drive) 2. Durability (Increased Hagane Gear Strength, X Protect) 3.
Casting Performance (Long Stroke Spool). This Proposition Makes The Stradic Fl The Ideal ‘All-Round’ Spinning Reel. It Can Be Used For Any Type Of Freshwater Fishing And Is Very Suitable For Ways Of Fishing Where Reliability And Strength Are Important (River Fishing, Big Fish, Bigger Lures).
At The Same Time This Reel Is An Ideal Choice For Saltwater Inshore Fishing.
Because The Versatile Range With Many Sizes And Gear Ratio’S, There Will Be Always A Suitable Stradic For Every Angler.
SPECS
TECHNOLOGY
HAGANE
Shimano's HAGANE concept focuses on ""eternally smooth reeling,"" combining advanced metalworking technologies to create durable and high-performance reels.
HAGANE Gear:
Precision cold-forged gears for strength and durability.
MicroModule Gear II:
Shimano's exclusive manufacturing technology further advances MicroModule Gear II with a state-of-the-art gear-tooth surface design. The surfaces of the drive gear and pinion gear have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in Shimano’s pursuit of perfection to further improve the smooth gear feeling and reducing sound.
X-SHIP System:
Optimizes power transmission for powerful, smooth cranking
HAGANE Body:
Rigid construction to prevent distortion and protect internal components.
These innovations make Shimano reels incredibly smooth, strong, and reliable, making them a favorite among discerning anglers.
InfinityXross:
InfinityXross provides superior gear durability through industry-leading design and cutting-edge manufacturing technology. Advancements in the gear tooth design improve the surface contact and meshing between the drive gear and pinion gear. This revolutionary design efficiently distributes the load placed on the gear tooth surface across a wider area to prevent damage from stress points while significantly improving overall gear durability.
infinity Drive
The Infinity Drive structure is an advanced structure that creates exceptionally light winding. The main shaft, which had previously been supported by the pinion gear, is now supported by a new and unique low-friction bushing that significantly decreases frictional resistance. In addition, the main shaft has undergone a proprietary surface treatment and special processing to drastically reduce rotational torque, constructing a reel that can actively wind even under heavy loads.
SilentDrive:
SilentDrive technology benefits from a total redesign of all functional parts focused on the drive gear, worm shaft and other parts. The goal: remove unnecessary noise and vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation.
DuraCross:
DuraCross provides smooth and reliable drag performance with incredible durability. Constructed to enhance overall durability, this revolutionary drag washer incorporates cutting-edge materials woven in a unique pattern compared to conventional drag washers. Without sacrificing a smooth drag feel, this new material is greater than 10x more durable for improved drag performance.
Anti-Twist Fin:
Shimano designed the Anti-Twist Fin for enhanced line management resulting in more effective fishing. The flexible polymer fin is installed near the line roller. This maintains line tension to reduce sagging and prevents the line from falling off the bottom of the spool or wrapping around the spool in an uneven manner.
X PROTECT (Spinning):
For medium and small general-purpose spinning reels, which require lighter spinning, we focused on a non-contact structure that does not compromise the lightness of the spinning. In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high water-resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the structure. It is used in the stopper bearing section and line roller section.
G-Free Body:
G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler's hand, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
AR-C Spool:
Shimano AR-C Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. AR-C spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid. AR-C spools are now standard on almost all Shimano reels
Long Stroke Spool:
The Long Stroke Spool has a longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. This ultimately produces a smoother line lay during retrieval and translates into increased casting distance for anglers.
S A-RB:
S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing.
One-Piece Bail:
One-Piece Bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
