Shimano has done it again. Once again they have outdone themselves. The new Shimano Stradic Spinning Reel is everything you loved about the older model plus some awesome upgrades. Let's start with a silent drive that nearly eliminates all noise. For the first time in the Stradic’s class, Shimano has implemented a Long Stroke Spool for better improved casting distance. The redesigned Micromodule Gear II greatly improves reeling smoothness while reducing gear noise. The G-Free Hagene body means you get a reel that is light and gravitationally centered closer to your hand reduces fatigue and increases casting comfort. Built for both freshwater and saltwater, rest assured that the inner components of your reel are safe from deterioration with the X-protect labyrinth structure and water repellent. The Shimano Stratic FL is the 2019 iCast Best Saltwater Reel winner.
