It is July 2nd, and just eleven more days until ICAST! This year it seems a lot of manufacturers are introducing products in
advance of the show, building momentum to the event itself. One of the big
introductions for Shimano will be the official launch of the completely
redesigned Stradic Series spinning reels. This morning we got our first hands on
look at the new reels and share our observations in this pre-ICAST preview.
The Stradic Series is one of the most well-known series of spinning reels
that Shimano has ever introduced. How many of you remember the white Stradic
ST-2000, wooden handle knob and all? This classic was the very first spinning
reel to ever take home an Editor’s Choice from TackleTour almost 14 years ago! A
lot of time has passed and so have the different Stradic models, some of which
channeled the reels of the past, and others that made use of the latest
materials and technology to deliver enhanced performance and durability.
