Stradic FL Spinning Reels
$199.99 to $229.99
A Shimano Stradic was my first nice spinning reel, back when the body was white and the knob was wood. We shared many an adventure catching weakfish, stripers, and fluke in the back bays of Ocean City, New Jersey. At the time, I couldn’t imagine a better reel for my purposes, but every new generation of the Stradic has added features that continue to make it the smoothest, best performing mid-priced reel on the market.
The newly-designed Stradic FL spinning reels are offered in five sizes to cover all types of freshwater action and more than ready for inshore saltwater use. The reels feature Shimano’s MicroModule Gear II for unparalleled smoothness and SilentDrive Technology for microscopic tolerance levels to reduce any handle play and eliminate any clicking noise in all moving parts. Of particular interest to fishermen looking for a new schoolie, weakfish or albie reel is the addition of Shimano’s X-Protect, which provides the Stradic FL with maximum protection in harsh saltwater environments.
The new Stradic FL reels are in five models – 1000HG, 2500HG, C3000XG, 4000XG and C5000XG.
Trying to locate the 4000XG and C5000XG, when will they actually be available in retail stores Bass Pro Cabela’s, Kittery trading Post etc…. ?
Whats the best size stradic fl for salt and fresh?
