The
Stratos is the culmination of an intensive three year R & D project with
substantial investment. Fox believes the Stratos is the first reel designed
specifically for carp fishing. For years carp anglers have been looking for
a long cast reel with a small compact body. The spool of the Stratos is
precisely machined and measures almost 60mm in diameter and 30mm in length.
In addition, the body is smaller than almost any other reel in its class. To
achieve this, the internal gearing had to be designed completely from
scratch. Stratos uses a Mesh-Tech gear train which has been critically
balanced to achieve the ultimate degree in gear meshing resulting in a
smoother more powerful, play free mechanism.
If you want to cast the distance, line lay is critical. Stratos has a
Supa-Slow Gear Cycle and an incredible 22 rotations of the bail arm are
performed per linear oscillation of the spool. In tests this proved to be
over 300% slower than some other reels. But what does this mean in practice?
Each turn of the bail arm puts a ‘coil’ of line on the spool. The Stratos
puts 22 coils of line on the spool (11 up and 11 down) on the retrieve
creating incredibly consistent line lay which means incredible casting
distances which can be achieved.
