Review of Shimano? Stradic? FI Spinning Reel

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just put my second Stradic 2500 FI to use with fluro.Just as the first, it works fine.I was thinking of spending the extra $$ for the new, highly rated lightweight reel that they brought out.But, given the unavilability of it at much if any discount, the lack of a free extra spool included, and the fact that on rods that the Stradic FI balances well, the lighter reel wouldn't.It weighs as much or less than the small 1000s for light-ultra-light rods.

Considering the price of Stradic FI being sold by Amazon itself, $130, no tax, no shipping, it can't be beaten.Are there better, quieter, smoother???Sure, but look at the prices......unless you're a tournament pro and make 3000 casts on average per day fishing fast, this is the best deal, best build quality, etc.
