Superb quality combo to get a superb quality catch

The Shimano Stradic 2500FM HG Zodias 270UL Ultra Light Trout Spin Combo offers value and performance that will appeal to beginner and advanced anglers alike.

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 new Shimano Zodias 270UL Ultra Light Spinning Rod has undergone a significant upgrade and now features Shimano's exclusive Carbon Monocoque Butt for the ultimate in sensitivity. The Full Carbon Monocoque rod butt is made of a hollow carbon construction, eliminating the use of EVA from the rear grip. This results in a very lightweight construction that is extremely sensitive and improves vibration transmission through the rod blank to your hand when working a lure. To provide the exact balance between power and finesse, the Zodias continues to feature Shimano's Hi-Power X graphite blank and Ci4+ Reel Seat and upgraded Fuji Stainless Alconite K guides with a SiC tip. Finished with the slick red and black cosmetics that have made the Zodias series a perfect match for many Shimano reels.

Carbon Monocoque
Carbon Monoqoque grip is a new level of high sensitivity for rods with the innovative idea of hollowing the rear grip by carbon integral moulding. This allows for unprecedented lightness and sensitivity.

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of inchXinch shapes. 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. The flexibility 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 by the angler.
