The Stradic FM, Shimano's latest addition to the CoreSolid spinning reel lineup, upholds the brand's reputation for reliability and adaptability. Derived from Shimano's flagship spinning reels, the Stradic FM introduces InfinityXross technology, horizontally extending the gear tooth for enhanced durability and even load distribution. Building upon Shimano's cold-forged HAGANE gearing, it incorporates MicroModule II for superior reeling precision. The inclusion of InfinityDrive ensures smooth rotation and increased cranking power under load, while the new Duracross Drag system offers the smoothness of felt with significantly enhanced durability, up to 10 times more. To guarantee long-term performance, Shimano's X-Protect water-repellent coating and specialized labyrinth construction prevent water intrusion in critical areas without compromising rotation. The addition of the Anti-Twist Fin, an elastic polymer beneath the roller, improves line management for anglers using monofilament or fluorocarbon lines. The Stradic FM stands as the most comprehensive addition to the lineage of high-performance Stradic reels, boasting an array of cutting-edge features.
