Shimano ’24 Stradic SW

Shimano ’24 Stradic SW

The Shimano ’24 Stradic SW boasts power and robustness comparable to higher-end models, along with waterproof features proven effective in harsh saltwater environments. This ultra-practical reel has undergone an evolution and has finally been redesigned. The 4000 version is based on the highly regarded Infinity Cross and incorporates Infinity Drive, an anti-twist fin, and gear durability to further minimize line retention issues. The 5000 to 10000 models are equipped with X Tough Drag, which improves durability, heat dissipation, and maximum drag power. They are designed for use with heavy lures and when fighting large fish. Furthermore, the conventional automatic bail arm return system has been removed from the 5000 and 6000 models to eliminate casting issues. With performance that surpasses previous models, a series of nine carefully selected reels has been created, now even more focused on real-world fishing.
