The Reel
The Shimano Stradic FL 2500 HG Spinning Reel is a
great all-around size for estuary and river fishing that suits a
braided line from 6lb to 10lb depending on the target species.
Weighing 225g, the Stradic FL 2500 HG matches perfectly with a
2-4kg, 2-5kg and 3-5kg responsive graphite rod. Featuring 6+1
bearings, 6.0:1 gear ratio and a smooth felt drag system with 9kg
of power.

Micro Module II
State-of-the-art, gear tooth surface design and MicroModule Gear
II, are further advanced through Shimano’s exclusive manufacturing
technology. The surfaces of the drive gear and pinion gear have
been analysed and updated from the ground up in pursuit of
perfection.

Silent Drive
From the fundamental, whole body design to the most intricate parts
of the drive train, including the drive gear, wormshaft, wormshaft
pin and wormshaft gear, every piece has been carefully reviewed,
and the smallest clearance gaps and wobbles have been eliminated to
the highest tolerances.

New HAGANE Gear
Hagane Gear has become the cornerstone of many of Shimano’s finest
spinning reels. With Shimano’s own precision cold forging
technology, the new Stradic, has improved gear durability and is
equipped with a newly designed Hagane gear with equivalent strength
to the upper model.

One Piece Bail
The one piece bail wire has no gap for the line to snag on during
normal operation. Made of stainless steel, it reduces friction and
allows the line to get into the line roller quicker.

X-Protect
By combining our water repellent coating and our specially
designed, water channeling labyrinth construction, X-Protect
provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear
and rotor rotation.

Long Stroke Spool
The long stroke spool design improves casting performance when
compared to the previous model due to the improved line flow from
the spool.

The Rod
Designed to meet the demands of Kiwi anglers, the Shimano
Salty Advance Tairaba B69MH-S Baitcaster Rod utilises
Shimano’s proprietary TAFTEC technology in the blank, giving it
excellent sensitivity and feel, whist also being robust. It
features Fuji stainless K guides and SiC tip.

TAFTEC
Shimano TAFTEC tips utilise a pre-stretched T-3500 directional yarn
fibre with low resin saturation. This directional alignment of the
fibres results in much less damage during the grinding process and
results in a spineless construction which tests have shown to be
much stronger, lower in weight, faster in action and more
sensitive. TAFTEC tips are used where sensitivity is an important
requirement of the rod.

Softube Top
Shimano Softube Top provides the sensitivity of an ultra-fine solid
carbon tip with the lightness of a hollow construction. Softube Top
construction can be found on models where sensitivity and finesse
are both important requirements. The smooth, seamless action of
Softube Top offers the angler an unrivalled experience for bite
detection and fish-playing performance.
