Shimano Stradic Front Drag Reel

Another established and acclaimed Shimano brand, where the Shimano engineers were not content to rest on their laurels. The new 2009 model sees the introduction of AR-C spool, a redesigned double handle, and is supplied with a double anodised cold forged spool, plus a spare single anodised cold forged version of the same capacity. The Stradic’s traditionally fast retrieve ratio of between 5.7:1 and 6.0:1 remains... something that fans of fast lure techniques and match fishing will certainly appreciate. Please pay special attention to the “SFC” version: a compact bodied reel with a smaller capacity spool, for use with braid and light mono. The new Stradic is sure to be seen as the benchmark across the UK match circuit.
