Toronto Sportsmen’s Show Tackle Porn: Shimano Stradic CI4

Throughout the entire Toronto Sportsmen’s Show I’ve snapped up hundreds of shots of different gear. I wanted to put them together into a few posts of “Tackle Porn”. As in shots of fishing gear that’s sure to get you excited! Get your bibs ready for some drool!

Shimano Stradic CI4

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 our normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20% lighter. Because it does not contain metal, it is impervious to rust.

So, as a result of its strength and weight, we can create an extremely lightweight reel with very precise tolerances.

Price: about $200
