Shimano Stradic FM 4000

Shimano Stradic FM 4000

The Shimano Stradic FM is the latest evolution in a lineage of reels famous for their workhorse reliability and high-end feel. Positioned at the core of Shimanos Coresolid range, the Stradic FM is designed to provide unwavering performance in the most demanding conditions.

The 4000 model is built on a full-sized frame, offering a perfect balance of weight and power. It features the cutting-edge InfinityXross gear design and InfinityDrive power support, which together provide a significant boost in winding torque and gear longevity. Whether you are cranking high-resistance lures or battling powerful predators in tidal currents, the Stradic FM 4000 remains exceptionally smooth and silent.

Where to Use: Ideal Scenarios

The 4000 size is the versatile heavy-hitter of the range, ideally suited for:

• Heavy Bass Lure Fishing: The perfect size for modern Bass rods. The Long Stroke Spool provides the extra distance needed for shore casting, while X-Protect guards against the salt spray.

• Large Predator Fishing: Ideal for targeting Pike and large Zander. The HAGANE Gear and HAGANE Body ensure the reel doesnt flex or struggle when pulling high-drag lures like large spinners or deep-diving crankbaits.

• Salmon & Seatrout: A top choice for river anglers who need a robust drag system and enough line capacity to handle the explosive first runs of a fresh-run Salmon.

• Light Inshore Boat Fishing: Strong enough for light jigging or frolicking for Mackerel, Pollock, and Bream from a boat or kayak.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Technologies

• Full Carbon + Nanosheet Construction: While the body is high-strength Aluminum, the internal gearing utilizes Shimanos latest carbon-infused technology for a lightweight but indestructible feel.

• InfinityXross: This technology expands the gear tooth contact area, distributing the load more evenly to prevent premature wear and maintain that brand new feel for years.

• InfinityDrive: By reducing the sliding resistance of the main shaft, this feature allows for effortless winding even when a heavy fish is putting the reel under maximum load.

• Anti-Twist Fin: A revolutionary addition near the line roller that maintains constant tension on the line, virtually eliminating the risk of wind knots and tangles when using light or slack braids.

• DuraCross Drag: This new drag system offers the smoothness of traditional felt washers but with 10x the durability, ensuring consistent pressure during long, grueling fights.
