AS GOOD TODAY AS IT’S ALWAYS BEEN Stradic is one of the most popular Shimano match reels. The balanced double handle, quick gear ratio and faultless front drag combine to produce a stunning high performance reel.
STRADIC FC Stradic has been around for years and has stood the test of time. The latest FD model continues the Stradic reputation with a traditionally fast retrieve ratio (2500 and 3000 - 6.0:1. 4000 and 5000 - 5.8:1), a feature that many match anglers prefer. Another well liked feature is the double handle (2500, 3000, 4000 models), which balances the reel perfectly and produces smooth performance when working at top speed. In fact for float fi shing the Stradic 2500 and shallow spooled 3000 really take some beating. As with all Shimano front drags, the advanced low inertia multi-disc drag makes fi sh-playing much more efficient, especially when using lighter hooklengths between 0.10mm and 0.13mm for carp. This range also features a compact bodied 5000 size which comes with a longer single handle making it excellent for feeder fi shing at range.
SHALLOW SPOOLS The 3000 sized Shimano reels are supplied with shallow spools. Shallow spools have enough line capacity for the most common match lines right up to 10lb for commercial carp waters without the need to use excessive backing.
