The renowned reliability and versatility of the Stradic series continues with the all-new Stradic FM, the latest addition to Shimano's CoreSolid spinning reel collection. Building on technologies from Shimano's top spinning reels, the revamped Stradic FM introduces InfinityXross technology for unmatched gear durability and balance, distributing load evenly across gear teeth. This combines with Shimano's cold-forged HAGANE gearing and refined MicroModule II for an exceptional reeling experience. InfinityDrive offers smooth, powerful rotation under load, while the Duracross Drag system delivers smooth performance with enhanced durability. Shimano's X-Protect water-repellent coating and water-channeling labyrinth construction ensure long-lasting, reliable performance without added weight. The new Anti-Twist Fin, an elastic polymer on the roller's underside, improves line management for monofilament or fluorocarbon line users. The all-new Stradic FM stands as the most comprehensive Stradic, carrying on a legacy of performance.
