The Reel
The Shimano Stradic has been a solid performer in the New Zealand
market for many years now and this model upgrade is no different.
Shimano’s engineers have done it again by creating a more
lightweight, compact yet powerful mid-priced spinning reel.

The Shimano Stradic 2500 FK HG Spinning Reel is
simply a delight to use, with better balance in the hand. It
features the X-Ship, which not only makes the fishing experience
much more enjoyable with ultra-smooth retrieves, but also gives you
more grunt when cranking in those larger saltwater species.

Every part has been designed to improve your experience on the
water. The sleek G-Free body provides a better weight balance to
reduce fatigue. Plus, the presence of Coreprotect on the roller
clutch, the drag, the body and the line roller, indicate that this
reel is going to be perfectly at home in the world’s harshest
environment — saltwater. Whether you’re casting light Rapala lures
to Trout, softbaiting the wash or micro-jigging for Snapper, the
Shimano Stradic 2500 FK HG Spinning Reel eats it
up!

Hagane Body and Gears
The new Shimano Stradic FK HG reel is enhanced by
its Hagane Body and Hagane Gears, complementing the G Free Body
design for better all-round performance. With amazing strength and
durability, the Hagane gear is at the very heart of this reel –
giving long-lasting smoothness and feel. Its entire surface is
calculated in minute detail by 3D and formed by Shimano’s cold
forging technology. And what’s more, the reel’s rigid Hagane body
is impact-resistant which virtually eliminates flexing –
transforming each action into cranking power.

X-Ship
Together with the Hagane cold-forged drive gear, Shimano combined
X-Ship technology which results in a smooth, powerful and durable
reel. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the
pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This
means that the gears will stay in position under the heaviest
loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft
and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance
of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.

The Rod
Designed to suit NZ fishing conditions, the new Shimano
Energy Concept SVX2 Spinning Lure Rod is designed from the
ground up by the development team at Shimano Fishing NZ. A rod that
suits NZ’s unique fishery, a rod that looks the part, represents
quality, and features the latest technologies and components. This
light spin rod is ideal for catching Snapper.
