Upon first impressions, the Stradic CI4 posses both ultra smooth and sleek panache yet resonates elements of aggression and power. Leave it to Shimano to create the ultimate combination of style and advanced technology! A rapid weight reduction is sure to set the tone for micro-sized threadline reels in the future, boasting up to 25% weight reduction to that of similar sized reels.

The Stradic CI4 also features Shimano’s Paladin gear durability enhancement, Propulsion Line Management System, Aerowrap II oscillation, S & SR Concepts, Waterproof Drag, Machined direct-drive handle with EVA grip, Fluidrive II, Dyna-Balance and Super Stopper II – in fact, there are too many to list.
