SHIMANO 20 Stradic SW 4000HG

Fully specced to dominate the exciting SW game Equipped with Infinity Drive, which realizes not only light winding but also power, you can fight while taking the initiative. In addition, durability is improved by X-Protect, which shuts out water from entering the line roller part. The power and toughness required for offshore have evolved to a higher dimension. Offshore & Shore Game #6000 Standard Model #5000 size large diameter spool model. With moderate speed and winding power, it is useful in a wide range of scenes such as casting games and jigging.

Reference target fish / fishing species
Shore jigging & plugging, jigging, offshore casting (bluefish, dolphin fish, bonito), etc.

Equipped with X-Tough Drag. 14000XG for casting & large fish
14000XG is an extra high gear specification with a gear ratio of 6.2 and a maximum winding length of 132 cm. The high-speed gear allows for quick response to sudden boils and schools of fish, expanding your chances. In addition, the instantaneous winding of line slack eliminates lure action errors and hooking time lags, raising the accuracy of your casting game to the next level. Furthermore, the adoption of the X-Tough Drag increases the maximum drag force to 15kg. Heat dissipation has also been improved, making it possible to take on large fish that you have been unable to stop head-on. The handle knob is equipped with an egg-shaped rubber type that matches casting. Combined with a line capacity of 300m of PE6, it is designed to target big games such as yellowfin tuna and yellowfin amberjack.

Never give up control! The core technology that creates strength and smoothness
The light and powerful winding feel common to all Stradic SW sizes, and the reassuring handling that never gives up control even to large fish. The source of this is Shimano's proud Infinity Drive. In addition to the conventional X-SHIP that realized light winding, Infinity Drive supports the main shaft, which was previously supported by a pinion gear, with a special low-friction bush, greatly reducing sliding resistance. Furthermore, a special surface treatment has been applied to the main shaft itself to reduce rotational torque, evolving the structure to enable aggressive winding even under high load. The winding power of the Stradic, which does not flinch even against large fish, will lead you to victory by winning the bold battle.

Iron-clad waterproof structure that maintains initial performance for a long time
In saltwater games, which are often said to be harsh, the intrusion of seawater is a threat along with the power of the target. Seawater that penetrates into the inside of the reel body corrodes the metal parts and significantly reduces the initial performance. To prevent such a situation from happening, Shimano has placed an iron-clad waterproof structure in each part. One of these is the X-Shield, which uses powerful sealing in various places, such as the mating surfaces of the body and lid, and the contact areas of the spool and drag knob, to block water intrusion and ensure the reel's inherent high reliability and durability. In addition, the contact-type waterproofing mechanism X-Protect is used in the stopper bearing and line roller, which require higher waterproofing performance. By using a special grease in combination with the sealing material to physically block the intrusion of seawater, we have pursued high waterproofing performance while suppressing rotational resistance. In particular, the body and stopper bearing parts are equivalent to the waterproof standard IPX8, and can meet the harsh challenges of anglers.
