Shimano ST6000FJ Stradic FJ Spinning Reel

Shimano Stradic FJ Spinning Reels have the same classic look but more power than their predecessor. Shimano s XShip gives Stradic FJ increased gearing efficiency and power providing for ultralight handle rotation and a smooth effortless retrieve. XShip: By using a large diameter drive gear moving the pinion gear closer to the center of the drive gear to provide 20 more power and by supporting the pinion gear with two ARB ball bearings XShip provides a smooth effortless retrieve and also virtually eliminates the pinion gear twist and rotor flex common with most spinning reels when fighting a fish. Aluminum Rotor Sideplate. Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement: Using a special cold forged aluminum drive gear and a hardened brass pinion gear (Stainless Steel pinion gear on Stella SW) reels equipped with the Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement will retain their outofthebox smoothness much longer than before. In fact testing has shown that this combination of metals is more durable than an allstainless steel drivetrain while maintaining the smoothness that Shimano is famous for. Propulsion Line Management System: The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion spool lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off of the spool in smaller loops during the cast which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction. The Propulsion spool also utilizes a long stroke design to further enhance the casting distance. Furthermore there is less bouncing of the line on the spool lip like on a standard spinning spool. Because of the unique shape of the Propulsion spool the line flows consistently off of the spool. So with a standard spool friction alternates f
