Shimano Stradic SW Reel / Saltwater-resistant Reel
The Shimano Stradic SW 2020 reel is the latest generation, recently launched with Shimano’s assembly technology, which has reduced friction around the main shaft and gears by 30 per cent by supporting the spur gear with two ball bearings. This delivers a smooth feel when reeling and significantly increases power.
