Shimano Stradic Spinning Reel

Features Aluminum Frame Graphite sideplate Graphite rotor Spare cold-forged aluminum spool provides increased strength and durability A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings Fluidrive II: uses the successes of Fluidrive, but also uses a polishing process to increase tooth contact for increased efficiency Super Stopper II(r): 1-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets, yet can be turned on or off to allow back-reeling Dyna-Balance(r): similar to balancing a tire, we use counterbalancing techniques in the rotor to eliminate wobble during the retrieve Rubber Handle Grip: comfortable and soft to the touch Power Roller(r) III: an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving, using a cone-shaped support to help get the line onto the roller quicker Floating Shaft: by using a bearing or bushing, friction is reduced between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased smoothness and durability S-Concept: represents Shimano's initial philosophy on which many of our spinning reels have been designed. The 3 basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are Smooth, Silent and Strong Slow Oscillation: lays the line in a parallel pattern for excellent castability and control Maintenance Port: a sealed plug that can be removed using a screwdriver to easily lubricate the drivetrain without disassembling the reel S-Guard: protects the body of the reel from impact damage S-Rotor: compact and lightweight to ensure a comfortable retrieve S-Arm Cam: a protruding surface on the bail arm keeps slack line in contact with the line roller to reduce the chance of tangles and line cuts Model Number:
