Stradic CI4

The Shimano Stradic CI4 uses the lightest material to create a lightweight reel ideally suited to finesse baitfishing.

New EVA handle grip complements the ultra-high-end rod design. The reel has a maintenance port, floating shaft, waterproof drag and direct-drive mechanism. Super Stopper II® anti-reverse roller bearing and repairable clicker.

CI4 stands for Carbon Inter fusion with the 4 referring to the number of electrons in the Carbon atom.

Ultimately, this means the Stradic CI4 is reinforced Carbon Fibre.
It is over one and a half times stronger than our normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20% lighter. Because it does not
contain metal, it is impervious to rust.
So, as a result of its strength and weight, we have created an extremely lightweight reel with very precise tolerances in the Shimano Stradic CI4.
