By part number Evolution of the right materials in the right places. Super practical model

All models are now tougher than ever.

The SW models designed specifically for saltwater are different from their freshwater counterparts in terms of toughness. The main feature is that they are protected from salt, which is the biggest enemy, and are designed to allow anglers to fight powerful fights without anxiety. In this respect, 24 STRADIC SW uses [X-Shield (except for No. 4000)] and [X-Protect] to reduce saltwater intrusion. It is also equipped with [Infinity Drive] and [HAGANE Gear], which lighten the handle winding under load.

The smallest model in the series, No. 4000, is equipped with [Infinity Cross], [Infinity Drive] and [Anti-twist Fin], while models No. 5000 to 10,000 are equipped with [X Tough Drag] to improve durability, heat dissipation and maximum drag force, with performance designed for fighting with large fish. The performance is designed for fighting with large fish. In addition, the bail auto-return mechanism has been eliminated to minimise casting problems.

Compared with the previous model, the performance of the No. 4000 has been dramatically improved.

The evolution of the No. 4000 is remarkable this time. The technologies only available on this model are [Micro Module Gear II], [Infinity Cross], [Silent Drive], [Anti-twist Fin], [G-free Body] and [Long Stroke Spool]. These technologies ensure smooth winding, light casting and reduced trouble when winding.

The [X-Protect] adopted for the No. 4000 size is a waterproofing system that focuses on a non-contact structure that does not compromise the lightness of rotation. The system is installed in the stopper bearing and line roller sections to ensure a high level of waterproof performance.

The 24 STRADIC SW uses a CI4+ round handle knob.

Models 5000 and above are equipped with X-Tuff drag; 8000 and 10,000 models have interchangeable spools.

Models 5000 and above, which are expected to fight with large fish, are equipped with [X Tough Drag]. Compared to previous models, the maximum drag value has been increased from 12kg to 13kg for No. 5000 and 6000, from 13kg to 16kg for No. 8000, and from 13kg to 15kg for No. 10,000.

Another unique feature of Stradic SW is that the No. 8000 and No. 10000 share the same spool. This means that the spool size can be changed according to the fishing location and target fish, and the lure winding speed can also be changed, allowing for instant fine-tuning when you want to be more particular about the lure’s action speed.

Why not consider purchasing this lure for the bluefish season starting in autumn?
