The Reel
Showcasing reel technologies passed down from Shimano's flagship spinning reels, the redesigned Shimano 23 Stradic 4000FM XG 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 4000FM XG 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 favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Spinning Soft Bait Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
