CI4 stands for Carbon Interfusion with the 4 referring to the number of
electrons in the Carbon atom. Ultimately, this means that the Shimano Stradic
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. This reel was the 2009 ICAST winner for best in category. It comes
with the following features:
- Ultra-lightweight CI4 Frame, Sideplate and Rotor Construction
- Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement
- Propulsion Line Management System: Propulsion Spool Lip, SR One-Piece Bail
