Love Shimano stuff, been fishing with a Spirex since they came out, bullet proof. The Stradic are an amazing reel, just wish they had rear drag model.

Woah that is expensive. I think mine cost 20 dollars at most lol. Always wondered how different a nice one would cost.

I used to use Shimano all of the time but in the past few years I have switched to Quantum and Pflueger.

I was also thinking of switching to Pflueger or Okuma . It seems some of Shimano’s reels have definitely gone downhill the last few years, but seems like the Stradic is still a well made dependable reel. If they weren’t on sale, I doubt if I would of pulled the trigger....

I've started using the Shimano Nasci reels in 2500 and 3000. I absolutely love these things. They've got 20lbs of drag and are relatively fast for spinning reels. Smooth as butter and really solid!

I agree the Nasci is pretty nice, but I bought a couple last year, and had trouble with the bail on one of them. I’m sure it was a isolated incident....
