Shimano Stradic FM C3000 HG Spinning Reel

Shimano 23 Stradic FL C3000 HG Spinning Reel

Introducing the Shimano 23 Stradic FM HG Spinning Reel, a marvel of reel technology that inherits key features from Shimano's top-tier spinning reels. The latest redesign incorporates InfinityXross technology, setting new standards in gear durability and synergy. This innovation involves horizontally extending the gear tooth to distribute the load, showcasing Shimano's legacy of robust HAGANE gearing, fortified by the refinement of MicroModule II, ensuring an unparalleled reeling experience. With the drip-down effect of key technologies from the Shimano Stella FK range this is our pick for the best value for money spin reel on the NZ market! 
The addition of InfinityDrive elevates the reel's performance, offering a smooth rotation and enhanced cranking power even under heavy loads. Meanwhile, the new Duracross Drag system combines the smoothness of felt with up to ten times the durability, guaranteeing reliable drag performance over the long haul. Shimano's X-Protect water-repellent coating and a specially designed labyrinth construction work in harmony to keep the reel impervious to water penetration in critical areas, all without adding undue weight or rotational resistance.
An exciting addition is the Anti-Twist Fin, an elastic polymer strategically placed beneath the roller, enhancing line management, especially when using monofilament or fluorocarbon line. The Shimano 23 Stradic FM HG Spinning Reel stands as a testament to Shimano's commitment to innovation and excellence, representing the culmination of years of expertise and engineering prowess.
InfinityXross technology is at the forefront of this reel's capabilities. It enhances gear durability through advanced design and cutting-edge manufacturing techniques. This innovation optimizes the surface contact and meshing between the drive gear and pinion gear, preventing stress point damage by efficiently spreading the load across a broader area. This results in unparalleled gear durability that can withstand the rigours of demanding fishing conditions.

Hagane Body and Gears
The new Shimano 23 Stradic C3000 FM HG Spinning 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
This reel features 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. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with S-ARB bearings and integrating a bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power of this rod. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation.
