It was always going to be a hard task to replace the original Stradic GTM reels with newcomers offering significant improvements. Retaining the familiar, much-loved pearl-white body cosmetics, Shimano have achieved this in style with the Stradic GTM RC range, including the added bonus of a 1500 model alongside all-new 2500, 3000 and 4000 versions. Features include XT-7 body and rotor, AR-C Spool, Zinc Diecast Gear, Cone Type bail plus single anodised cold forged alu spool with XT-7 spare. As with the TPCi4, the 4000 spool is a new shallow version with equal line capacity to the 3000.
