FRONT DRAG REELS ULTRA LIGHT FOR BETTER BALANCE
LIGHTWEIGHT SERIES
For lightweight street fishing, with class-leading specifications, the Shimano Lightweight series, built using the exclusive CI4+ material, should be your first choice. This is especially important with ultralight dropshot or micro-spinning rods where the combination of the rod and reel has to be in balance to get the best performance. Well balanced combinations not only fish better, they are also less tiring to use, making your fishing more effective and enjoyable. The Lightweight Series contains several CI4+ models that are perfect for ultra-light fishing, including the Rarenium CI4+ FB, or the stunning Stradic CI4+ FA in both 1000 or 2500 sizes. One model that’s becoming very popular is the Stradic FAML 1000 which is a Micro-line version. This model, with a shallow spool, has been specially developed for use with ultra thin braided lines.
FA The Stradic CI4+ FA features the very latest lightweight CI4+ body and AR-C lightweight spool, producing excellent overall weight saving making this new model perfect for lightweight rods. The ultra light Magnumlite CI4+ rotor gives a super smooth rotation feeling. With X-ship gearing and 6 ball bearings (plus a Shimano roller bearing) the Stradic CI4+ FA generates powerful cranking performance and improved smoothness to cope with even the most demanding situations. An easy to adjust waterproof Rapid Fire drag delivers confident fish-playing performance, even when using light lines. Available in four sizes, the smallest 1000 size also has a ‘Micro Line’ version for ultra light lines and thin diameter braids.
The Stradic CI4+ FA has a lightweight body and rotor making it one of the lightest reels in its class.
