A Shimano spinning reel with a smooth 6.0:1 retrieve and technologies designed to reduce gear noise and resist corrosion.
The Shimano Stradic FL in size 3000 is a spinning reel with a high-gear 6.0:1 ratio, aimed at anglers who want a smooth, compact reel for braided line. It pairs MicroModule Gear II and Silent Drive with a Cross Carbon drag system and an X-Protect water-repellent coating. An aluminum handle and five stainless steel bearings round out a reel that weighs about 0.35 kilograms.
