  • We take a comprehensive look into the all new 2023-2024 Shimano Stradic spinning reel from Shimano. Shimano needs to get this reel correct because of the market implications this reel in this price range holds. This has been the best selling spinning reel for Shimano for a long time. The Stradic separates itself from the competition. But, does this new generation do just that?

    I own 3 Diawa reels and I really, really like them. Bought the 2500 FM last week and I’ll tell you…it’s stunning!! Forget about wind knots! Soooo smooth and balanced. Bluegill have no chance! Just kidding, I live in Naples Florida. The variety of species I’ve caught, both inshore and in lakes and ponds, is quite diverse. Try pairing it up with a Bull Bay rod. Very, very happy!

The sound drag of fm is ok but i like more the sound of FL or vanford (is a little louder). In future i try to change the sound drag of the fm if is possible.anyway i love stradic my expectation from the New fm is to be durable like stradic. Sorry for my english 😅🔨🐟🔨

    I have used all kinds of high reels from daiwas and Shimano low end to Stella and after a long day of fishing schools after schools of jumbo 3lb to 7lb white bass the only reel that didn't give up on me was that high-end reel, the Shimano Stella. Broke many stradics and ballistics. If you do light to moderate fishing stradic is the way to go. If you fish a ton it's worth investing into the Stella build like a tank, will last you forever.

I have one that’s going on 8 yrs old now that’s only been used on ripping 40lb king salmon and coho out of the rivers in the fall and it’s still going strong. I really got into walleye fishing the past couple years and I picked up some new rods last week and plan on getting the FM’s. I also own a sustain FJ which is a great reel. Im heading over to Reddit right now to see if I can find a code. If I find one I will post it.

      “C” means compact. C2500 model is using the 1000 size body. Meanwhile, 2500 model is using the standard 2500 size body. That is why C2500 is lighter. “S” is shallow spool, “Hg” is high gear where both of these does not affect the weight.

    This might be the reason I can't get my Vanford (6months) and Stradic fixed. Don't get me wrong, I really like these reels but my next reel is going to be a Sahara. Having no clear timeline when parts will come in has reduced my reel inventory to fish.

    Japanese reels still using lesser alloys or same as USA? The drag is certainly 100% weaker on a JAPAN 2500 frame than USA frame. … . That’s indisputable … maybe post a video about what a Compact Japan Shimano frame is … comparing JAPAN Shallow Spool 2500 to USA regular spool 2500 is entirely confusing and really of no utility. (Good luck fishing 100M 4000 FM in FLORIDA. LOL😂

    • @BloodySniper808
      @BloodySniper808 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Frame size and line capacity varies with the manufacturer and reel model not with the country but yes typically Japanese brands are smaller, shimano “c” frames are essentially one size smaller for ex C3000 is a 2000size frame with a 3000size spool. USA reels have a more robust design with heavier components so they are arguably stronger but Japanese reels are definitely more finesse. I use Penn reels baitcasting for shark, rays and large species and shimano / diawa for casting lures.
