The Shimano 23 Stradic FM 4000MHG sits perfectly in the middle of the Coresolid range and delivers a serious amount of advanced technology. It doesn’t matter if you fish different methods for different species, or are a single-minded specialist, there’s a model in the Stradic range for you. Strong and powerful enough to make fishing heavy lures and fighting large fish easier, yet smooth enough to offer precision when required, the Shimano 23 Stradic FM 4000MHG is a pleasure to use and will enhance your fishing experience in all freshwater and in-shore saltwater situations. These advanced technologies are housed inside the lightweight aluminium HAGANE Body, producing the unwavering powerful smoothness you feel when winding under pressure. The DURACROSS Drag produces precise and extremely accurate fish-playing control, even under extreme pressure. The addition of X-Protect means you can use this reel for anything from light rock fishing up to Sea Bass lure fishing in saltwater, as well as all freshwater environments. The Long Stroke AR-C spool for improved distance casting and ANTI-TWIST Fin for excellent line management make this long-time Shimano favourite a true pleasure to fish in many conditions. The Shimano 23 Stradic FM 4000MHG has a wide, long stroke spool which is designed to give ultimate casting range with the latest hi tech ultra fine multi strand PE braids. It is a superb distance lure reel for using in a wide range of different situations. The fast XG gearing helps when you need to get the lure moving quickly to induce fish to follow and take.
