Viewer's Choice Winning Fishing Reels

Dominating the Viewer's Choice Awards for Best New Bass Fishing Reels, Shimano takes down the entire category with the introduction of the Stradic FM Spinning Reel and a new Curado 200 M Casting Reel. Clearly many anglers were excited to see Shimano expand on Curado’s reputation as a do-everything power fishing reel, and on the spinning side, the Stradic FM Spinning Reel impressed with reel technologies passed down from Shimano’s flagship spinning reels. On a hot streak and proving to be a fan favorite for new bass fishing reels, Shimano has won at least one category for four years running and has swept the Viewer’s Choice pick for both best casting and best spinning reel three years in a row!
