Preview the New Shimano Stradic FK Spinning Reel Ahead of ICAST 2015

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.
