Reel Shimano Stradic 2500 GTM - RC

Reels Stradic has always been regarded as one of the best reels on the market and a new model confirms this trend. The reel is equipped with four bearings and super bearing Shimano, which are resistant to corrosion and oxidation in the toughest conditions and system Aero Wrap II two-speed oscillation for maximum performance. Has a basic cold forget spool from duralaluminia, spare graphite spool is made ​​of XT-7. Along with precise primary brake can be in this type of reel to use a secondary fignting drag with a newly designed brake system that is more efficient and requires less maintenance than was the case with previous types Stradic. Secondary fighting drag reliably allow you to repel sudden lunge of fish. The reel is designed for spinning, but it is also possible to use in float fishing and feeder. It is equipped with a dual overhead handle for easier grip.

Reel uses the patented Shimano systems :

S-System :

Smooth, Silent, Strong: S-System Represents Shimano?s initial philosophy on which many of our fixed spool reels have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are: Smooth, Silent and Strong. Reels designed under the S flag incorporate the following features:

S-Guard : Specially designed guards are attached to the rotor and the body, which prevent the accumulation of water and also give added protection against accidental bumps and knocks.

S-Arm Cam : Slack line around the line roller is the basic cause of problems during the cast. A newly designed roller incorporates a protruding lower surface, which helps prevent slack line, virtually eliminating the problem.

S-Drag : The drag washers are made of pure carbon. These provide a smooth performance from zero to maximum power and also offer excellent durability.

S-Spool : S-System spools are cold forged from aluminium alloy. The cold forging process creates a lightweight spool with increased structural strength. The addition of a spool ring, made from titanium-coated Zirconia, which is ten times harder than stainless steel, gives the lip added resistance to abrasion and damage.

S-Master Gear : The master gear is made of A7075 Super Duraluminium aircraft grade alloy for high strength and low weight. In the Stella reel it is further coated with a layer of Black Almite. Black Almite is a microscopic thin ceramic coating that provides scratch and corrosion resistance.

Power Roller :

The special design of the Shimano Power Roller significantly reduces line twist during the retrieve and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid.

Super Stopper II :

With the reel set in anti-reverse mode you'll find zero free-play on the handle thanks to Super Stopper II. Unerringly positive every time, its practical benefits include micro increment settings of quiver tips or specialist bite indicators and faster hook setting.

AR-C Spool :

A spool design with a V-shape spool lip ensuring that the line comes off the reel in smaller loops for further and more accurate casting. The AR-C spool will minimise the risk of backlash.

Easy Maintenance :

An easy and efficient way to keep your reel working at optimum performance. This feature enables direct lubrication of the reel's inner workings - without having to take it apart. A small oil lubrication port can be found on each of the S-system reels which, when removed, enables you to apply manufacturer approved lubricants to the inside mechanism.

Aero Wrap II :

By improving the internal friction efficiency Shimano succeeded in bringing it?s line lay systems close to perfection. Close parallel coils in combination with 2 speed oscillation ensure smoother and further casting.

Dyna Balance :

Reduces reel wobble and allows produces ultra smooth performance.

Floating Shaft II :

The key friction area on most fixed spool reels is where the spool drive shaft meets the pinion. Shimano designers have overcome this by reducing a large percentage of surface area contact, and incorporating bearings on either side of the shaft. The resultant design leaves the shaft in a "floating" position, considerably improving efficiency and longevity.
