Blackwater-2
Shimano® has designed a reel that is a
dream for the Lightweight Finesse Fisherman. The new Shimano® Stradic® CI4 spinning reel
utilizes the new CI4 material for construction. The Stradic® CI4 is the ultimate in
lightweight reels designed for the ultra-finesse angler using lightweight
fluorocarbon, braided or monofilament lines. From drop-shotting to shakey heads
and small texas rigs, the new Shimano®
Stradic® CI4 has you covered.
CI4 stands for Carbon Interfusion
with the 4 referring to the number of electrons in the Carbon Atom. Ultimately,
this means CI4 is reinforced Carbon
Fiber. It is over one and a half times stronger than the normal XT-7
graphite and is over 20% lighter. Because it does not contain metal, it is
impervious to rust and as a result of its strength and weight, Shimano® has
created an extremely lightweight reel with very precise tolerances.
