This reputation for dependability and
versatility prevails in the all-new Stradic FM, the newest addition to
Shimano's CoreSolid lineup of spinning reels. Showcasing reel technologies
passed down from Shimano's flagship spinning reels, the redesigned Stradic FM
adds InfinityXross technology for unequaled gear durability and synergy by
extending the gear tooth horizontally to distribute load across the gear tooth
more evenly. This parlays Shimano's legacy of cold-forged HAGANE gearing for
added strength with the refinement of MicroModule II for the ultimate reeling
experience. The addition of InfinityDrive delivers light rotation and increased
cranking power under load, while the new Duracross Drag system provides the
smooth performance of felt with up to 10 times the durability. Shimano's
X-Protect water-repellent coating and specially designed, water-channeling
labyrinth construction ensure a lifetime of dependable performance by stopping
water penetration in key areas without adding a heavy rotational feel. The new
Anti-Twist Fin — an elastic polymer on the underside of the roller — enhances
line management for anglers fishing monofilament or fluorocarbon line. The
all-new Stadic FM — the most complete Stradic in a long lineage of
performance.
HAGANE
HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to
withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with
built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision
engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
HAGANE GEAR
The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano's coldforging
technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a
longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the
reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable
under heavy loads.
MICROMODULE II
The MICROMODULE Gear II has evolved with Shimano's unique
manufacturing technology and a state-of-the-art gear-tooth surface design. The
drive and pinion gear surfaces have been analyzed and updated from the ground
up in Shimano's pursuit of perfection to further improve the smooth gear
feeling and reduce sound.
X SHIP
X SHIP provides improved gear durability. By supporting the
pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise
alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay
in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also
eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit
anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance
of lighter lures.
HAGANE BODY
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The
body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the
reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly
into cranking power.
INFINITY XROSS
INFINITY XROSS provides superior gear durability through
industry-leading design and cutting-edge manufacturing technology. Advancements
in the gear tooth design improve the surface contact and meshing between the
drive gear and pinion gear. This revolutionary design efficiently distributes
the load placed on the gear tooth surface across a wider area to prevent damage
from stress points while significantly improving overall gear durability.
INFINITYDRIVE
INFINITYDRIVE technology is an advanced structure that
produces lower friction and lighter winding. Pinion gear is supported by the
spool shaft instead of the pinion gear bearing on the spool side. Rotational
resistance of the gear section has been reduced without
compromising gear strength
DURACROSS
DURACROSS provides smooth, reliable drag performance and
incredible durability. The material is reinforced by weaving in new fibers in a
manner orthogonal to the direction of the fibers that make up conventional drag
washers. We have succeeded in increasing abrasion resistance more than 10 times
while maintaining smooth drag performance.
SILENTDRIVE
The basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts
were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between
parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and
quiet reel rotation.
ANTI TWIST FIN
Elastic fins are installed in close proximity to the line
roller section. By suppressing line slack, the fins reduce the phenomenon of
line dropping out of the lower part of the spool and line wrapping around the
spool while the line is still twisted.
X PROTECT
For medium and small general-purpose spinning reels, which
require lighter spinning, we focused on a non-contact structure that does not
compromise the lightness of the spinning.
In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a
labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve
high water-resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the
structure. It is used in the stopper bearing section and
line roller section.
G FREE BODY
G FREE BODY technology has been developed to shift the
reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity
closer to the angler's hand, the G FREE BODY helps to reduce fatigue and
enhance casting comfort.
AR-C SPOOL
The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a
rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and
long casting performance.
LONG STROKE SPOOL
The LONG STROKE SPOOL has a longer stroke compared to
conventional spool designs. It contributes to improved casting
feel and distance.
SA-RB
S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as
Shimano's A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings.
These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the
rotation of the bearing.
ONE-PIECE BAIL
ONE-PIECE BAlLallows the line to travel unimpeded to the
line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of
tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
