Shimano Stradic Fl

HAGANE GEAR: The new 20% thicker cold-forged gears combined with an exclusive surface treatment are necessary to withstand the tremendous power and rigidity of the mechanism. They combine reliability and precision and are significantly stronger than previous gears.

X-SHIP: The oversized and hyper-tuned control wheel optimizes power transmission while offering extreme rotational flexibility. The increased power combined with the ultra-rigid aluminum structure allows maximum pressure to be applied while ensuring the integrity of the mechanics.

MICROMODULE II: Thanks to a more rounded finish on the gear teeth surface, rotation is even smoother.

HAGANE BODY: The frame designed from extremely rigid aluminum and magnesium is treated against corrosion and provides an ideal housing to protect all precision bearings and gears. This real breastplate is ultra-resistant to impacts, eliminates power losses caused by flexion, and offers a perfect barrier against aggressions from external elements.

SILENT DRIVE: The new design of the 11 (internal) reel components optimizes rotation for completely silent and perfectly smooth operation.

G FREE BODY: Technology that moves the center of gravity closer to the rod to improve balance and fishing comfort. The mechanism has been thoroughly modified; the oscillation axis has been moved from the bottom to the top of the reel.

X-PROTECT: The rubber seal on the rotor is equipped with a unique three-lip system that provides perfect protection against water intrusion. The grease present between the 2nd and 3rd lips resists water under pressure and also improves the fluid rotation of the rotor.

AR-C SPOOL: A patented "V" lip spool design that ensures longer and more precise casting thanks to smaller coils. The AR-C spool minimizes the risk of backlashes.

ONE-PIECE BAIL: One-piece bail (strength, lightness, and maximum precision). With a one-piece bail, the line can no longer get caught in the reel during fishing. Made of stainless steel, it reduces friction and allows the braid (or nylon) to pass more quickly over the roller.

LONG SPOOL: The new spool design with a 17% larger top opening at the same size increases casting distance by 4%.
