The Shimano Stradic FLcomes from a long history of Stradic reels and the FL series certainly does not disappoint. It features many flagship technologies Shimano has developed and that are only seen in their higher-end reels. For the first time, Shimano has implemented a Long Stroke Spool in the Stradic, which allows for better line flow off the reel when casting and ultimately increases casting distance. Durability has also been improved as Shimano has further increased gear strength over the previous model while also adding X-Protect, which provides for more water resistance. X-Protect is a combination of a water-repellent coating along with a labyrinth style construction that mitigates water from entering key components of the reel.

Stradic reels are well known for their smoothness and fish fighting abilities. For many it is the ideal light tackle reel for Albies, Bonito, Stripers, and many other gamefish we see in the Northeast and across the country. The new evolution of the Stradic FL comes with a Cross Carbon Drag system which enables the reel to conquer the most blistering of runs.
