Shimano Stradic FL C 3000 XG

For years, Stradic has been synonymous with all-round quality that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. And rightly so, because it does everything so well. Versatile enough in the smaller sizes for finesse fishing, and strong enough in the medium and large sizes for out-sized predators, Stradic is an all-time favourite that continues to impress anglers around the world.

No matter if you are the kind of angler who fishes different methods for different species, or a single-minded specialist, there is a model in the Stradic series for you. It sits perfectly in the middle of the Coresolid range and offers a huge amount of quality and technology, for a very reasonable price. It is a reel that countless anglers around the world have come to trust, and if it's tough enough to tame a Tarpon on the Florida flats, it's sure to be up to anything you can throw at it in Europe. Simply put, you can trust the Stradic FL to never let you down.

The Stradic features some of the best HAGANE technology including HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, Micro Module II and Silent Drive. The quartet of features, housed inside the HAGANE Body, produces the unwavering smoothness you feel when using the Stardic and delivers reassuring power when it is most needed. Fish playing is precise thanks to the Cross Carbon drag washers, which perform excellently under medium and extreme pressure, and the addition of X-Protect means you can use this reel for anything from light rockfishing, to saltwater lure fishing for bass, as well as in all freshwater environments. The incorporation of a Long Stroke AR-C spool further enhances the versatility of this long-time Shimano favourite.
