The Reel
Showcasing reel technologies passed down from Shimano's flagship spinning reels, the redesigned Shimano 23 Stradic 2500FM HG Spinning Reel adds InfinityXross technology for unequaled gear durability and synergy by extending the gear tooth horizontally to distribute load across the gear tooth more evenly. This parlays Shimano's legacy of cold-forged HAGANE gearing for added strength with the refinement of MicroModule II for the ultimate reeling experience. The addition of InfinityDrive delivers light rotation and increased cranking power under load, while the new Duracross Drag system provides the smooth performance of felt with up to 10 times the durability. Shimano's X-Protect water-repellent coating and specially designed, water-channeling labyrinth construction ensure a lifetime of dependable performance by stopping water penetration in key areas without adding a heavy rotational feel. The new Anti-Twist Fin - an elastic polymer on the underside of the roller - enhances line management for anglers fishing monofilament or fluorocarbon line. The all-new Shimano 23 Stradic 2500FM HG Spinning Reel - the most complete Stradic in a long lineage of performance.

InfinityXross
InfinityXross provides superior gear durability through industry-leading design and cutting-edge manufacturing technology. Advancements in the gear tooth design improve the surface contact and meshing between the drive gear and pinion gear. This revolutionary design efficiently distributes the load placed on the gear tooth surface across a wider area to prevent damage from stress points while significantly improving overall gear durability.

The Rod
The Shimano Dialuna S86L Light Freshwater Spin Rod thoroughly pursues performance beyond its class, evolving further like never before. It adopts a Spiral X and high power X blank structure to produce a lighter weight and increased power while maintaining strength and rigidity. With a regular fast taper, the tip section offers excellent operability while the middle and lower sections retain the power to effectively manage high-load situations when casting and fighting.

The new carbon monocoque grip provides additional weight and increased sensitivity. Thanks to this, the sharpness and responsiveness have been greatly improved, and anglers can readily detect changes in water flow and understand the swimming actions of the lure. The Dialuna has now evolved into a rod that allows anglers to enjoy high-precision applications, realising a new feeling of operation at will.

Focusing on high operability for finesse fishing applications, the Shimano Dialuna S86L Light Freshwater Spin Rod is a light and easy-to-handle rod model that excels in situations where a subtle presentation is required. It's suitable for use with eggs and small soft plastics and ideal for PE0.8 lines and light leaders.

Spiral X
Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibres as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.

Carbon Monocoque
Carbon monocoque grip is a carbon-moulded grip that is lightweight with high sensitivity, transferring even the smallest vibration to an angler's hand. It increases sensitivity by 30% compared to traditional rod handles and utilizes a hollow structure that eliminates unnecessary parts of the rear grip to improve weight reduction and vibration transmission.

Hi-Power X
Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of inchXinch shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.

CI4+
CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fibre that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
