Shimano Stradic FL 4000 Spinning Reel

Took a beating and still smooth

Dropped it on the boat deck twice and rinsed it with seawater for a week. Still perfect.

Excellent, but pricey

You get what you pay for. A little dear for a 4000 but the retrieve is effortless.

Shimano quality

Crank is silky. Great balance with a 7'6" rod. Trusted it on every session since unboxing.

Buttery smooth

Landed three GTs on the reef last weekend. Drag held up beautifully. Worth the price.
