Reel SHIMANO Stradic GTM RC

Shimano Stradic GTM RC Reel

A precise spinning reel for technical fishing

The Shimano Stradic GTM RC is a rear-drag spinning reel designed for anglers seeking robustness, smoothness and control. Particularly suited to light to medium feeder fishing, it is also suitable for match fishing and freshwater lure techniques.

Its reliable design and balanced retrieve make it a pleasant reel to use during regular sessions. It offers good responsiveness during fights, while maintaining the precision needed for finesse fishing and technical rigs.

Fightin' Drag rear drag for immediate control

The Stradic GTM RC features a multi-disc rear drag combined with Shimano's exclusive Fightin' Drag system. This technology allows you to quickly adjust the drag power during the fight, without losing contact with the fish.

This instant adjustment is particularly useful during critical phases, especially when the fish accelerates or suddenly changes direction. The angler thus maintains constant control, with a progressive drag that is easy to adapt to the situation.

Robust design and reliable mechanics

The XT-7 composite body and rotor provide a good balance between lightness and strength. This construction allows the reel to withstand repeated use while remaining comfortable in hand, even during long sessions.

The cold-forged aluminium AR-C spool promotes smooth line lay and contributes to better line management. The die-cast gear reinforces the reliability of the mechanics, for stable and lasting retrieve.

Double handle for balanced retrieve

The Shimano Stradic GTM RC stands out with its double handle, which provides better balance during retrieve. This configuration improves the stability of the reel and offers a smoother feel, appreciated for feeder fishing and techniques requiring precision and cadence.

Its pearlescent white finish also gives it a distinctive visual identity, true to the Stradic range, with a refined and technical presentation.
