Overview

Continuing the legacy of the Stradic family, the Shimano Stradic FM Spinning Reel is the newest addition to Shimano’s CoreSolid lineup of spinning reels and showcases reel technologies passed down from Shimano’s flagship spinning reels. With the addition of InfinityXross technology, the Stradic FM Spinning Reel delivers unequaled gear durability and synergy by extending the gear tooth horizontally to distribute load across the gear tooth more evenly. This complements cold-forged HAGANE gearing for added strength with the refinement of MicroModule II for the ultimate reeling experience. Internally, it also features InfinityDrive that creates a light rotation and increased cranking power with the reel is under heavy loads.

Backed by a Duracross Drag system, the Stradic FM Spinning Reel provides the smooth performance of felt with up to 10 times the durability. X-Protect water-repellent coating and a specially designed water-channeling system ensures a lifetime of dependable performance by stopping water penetration in key areas without adding a heavy rotational feel. Finished with an Anti-Twist Fin that enhances line management, the Shimano Stradic FM Spinning Reel is the most complete Stradic in a long lineage of performance.

Machined Smooth For The Long RunDecades ago I would buy upper “lower end” Diawa & Shimano reels. They would last a couple of years and I would just buy new again as they crapped out. I have perhaps a dozen of those. Then I bought the Shimano Ci-4 Reels. Amazing. Then I started buying Shimano Stradic reels. Kinda expensive but they last and last. Always smooth to crank. The drag also remains SMOOTH! I hate reel vibration of any kind. Detecting light bites demands a 100% smooth reel. Fighting saltwater fish demands smooth drag systems. Light reels help detect light bites. When at Local Tackle Shops and I hear buyers complain about expensive (quality) reels. They will never understand. Some deserve shitty equipment. They will not take care of it. They will not maintain it. I just smile. Buy Once Cry Once. You will own quality gear for decades. Don't buy based on your immediate “Wants”. Save up and buy Right the first time. It has taken two+ years to buy some gear. Also learn to tie the FG Knot and use braid to mono or Flourocarbon. Be well.

Love itI’m a brand new angler and this is my second spinning reel. My first is a Lew’s Mach 2 (also from tackle warehouse!) I still love my Lew’s, but this Shimano is simply at another level. I’m not educated enough yet to talk reel specs and such, but I know what feels good, and I can definitely feel the difference in my hands. The Shimano just feels and performs so much better. It’s solid. It looks great too!

Best spinning reels I have ever ownedI was still a little reluctant to purchase a Stradic 2500 even after reading all of the reviews I could find because of the price. There are good spinning reels available for a lot less money, but, I went ahead and ordered one anyway to see if all the hype was true. After fishing with it one time I was so impressed with the quality, smoothness, efficiency and aesthetics of the reel I came home and ordered a Stradic 1000! I am more than pleased with my purchases and plan on using them as often as possible.

Quality felt, ButterrrIdk how anyone can say anything bad about this reel. You can easily crash a Ferrari too. Feels like quality and super smooth. Buy it before the price jumps up into the 300's for a Stradic.
