Shimano Stradic Fm 6.4 : 1 Spinning Reel- Stc3000xgfm

The most complete Stradic in a long lineage of performance.
This reputation for dependability and versatility prevails in the all-new Stradic FM, the newest addition to Shimano's CoreSolid lineup of spinning reels. Showcasing reel technologies passed down from Shimano's flagship spinning reels, the redesigned Stradic FM adds InfinityXross technology for unequaled gear durability and synergy by extending the gear tooth horizontally to distribute load across the gear tooth more evenly. This parlays Shimano's legacy of cold-forged HAGANE gearing for added strength with the refinement of MicroModule II for the ultimate reeling experience. The addition of InfinityDrive delivers light rotation and increased cranking power under load, while the new Duracross Drag system provides the smooth performance of felt with up to 10 times the durability. Shimano's X-Protect water-repellent coating and specially designed, water-channeling labyrinth construction ensure a lifetime of dependable performance by stopping water penetration in key areas without adding a heavy rotational feel. The new Anti-Twist Fin — an elastic polymer on the underside of the roller — enhances line management for anglers fishing monofilament or fluorocarbon line. 

Features

• Hagane - Created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering.
• CoreSolid Series - Provides an exceptionally fluid rotation, delivering ultra-smooth reeling performance. Once engaged, the rotor sustains momentum with minimal effort, easing fatigue during extended retrieves.
• Hagane Gear - The application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again.
• MicroModule Gear II - The surfaces of the drive gear and pinion gear have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in Shimano's pursuit of perfection to further improve the smooth gear feeling and reducing sound.
• InfinityXross - This revolutionary design efficiently distributes the load placed on the gear tooth surface across a wider area to prevent damage from stress points while significantly improving overall gear durability.
• Hagane Body - A metal reel body with high rigidity and impact resistance, eliminating body flexing and resulting in increased efficiency through strength.
• Infinity Drive - An advanced structure that creates exceptionally light winding. The main shaft is now supported by a new and unique low-friction bushing that significantly decreases frictional resistance. In addition, the main shaft has undergone a proprietary surface treatment and special processing to drastically reduce rotational torque, constructing a reel that can actively wind even under heavy loads.
• DuraCross - Provides smooth and reliable drag performance with incredible durability, without sacrificing a smooth drag feel, this new material is greater than 10x more durable for improved drag performance.
• SilentDrive - Removes unnecessary noise and vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation.
• Anti-Twist Fin - Maintains line tension to reduce sagging and prevents the line from falling off the bottom of the spool or wrapping around the spool in an uneven manner.
• X Protect - In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high water resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the structure.
• G-Free Body - Developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler's hand, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
• Long Stroke Spool - Produces a smoother line lay during retrieval and translates into increased casting distance for anglers.
• S A-RB Spinning - Feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing.
• One-Piece Bail - Allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
• X-Ship Spinning - Provides improved gear durability by allowing the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated, enhancing casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.
