SHIMANO’S latest Stradic SW series features a suite of advanced new features.
At the heart of the Stradic SW is the innovative X-Tough Drag system, which provides a maximum
drag force of up to 16kg, essential for subduing large and powerful fish. This robust drag system
features drag washers at the top side and under side of the spool to more evenly spread the load.
Breakthrough Technologies Enhance Efficiency
The Infinity Drive technology stands out in the Stradic SW series by significantly decreasing sliding
resistance. This is achieved by supporting the main shaft with a special low-friction bushing, which
not only enhances the smoothness of the winding but also its power. Further aiding this seamless
operation is the X-Ship technology, which facilitates lighter and smoother winding a critical feature
when battling the relentless pull of a large fish.

Another aspect of the Stradic SW series is its exceptional durability, achieved through
advanced waterproofing technologies. The reels incorporate Shimano’s X-Shield and X-Protect
systems, which provide comprehensive sealing at critical junctures to prevent seawater intrusion,
one of the most pervasive threats in saltwater environments. These systems ensure that each reel
maintains its peak performance over time by shielding vital components from saltwater corrosion.
The Stradic SW series not only excels in functionality but also in design. Built to endure the harsh
conditions of saltwater fishing, these reels are crafted from high-quality materials that offer both
resilience and reliability. Whether exposed to the harsh spray of the sea or engaged in a tug-of-war
with a mighty fish, the Stradic SW reels are engineered to withstand great stresses without
compromising on performance.
The Stradic SW series is particularly suited for anglers who pursue challenging sport fish. Its design considerations reflect a deep understanding of the needs of offshore fishing enthusiasts.
The combination of the reel’s high-speed gearing, substantial line capacity, and robust drag system makes it an invaluable tool for those targeting large species. By allowing for quick adjustments during dynamic fishing situations, it ensures that anglers can capitalise on every opportunity during a chase.
