Shimano Stradic CI4 2500

[statesquider 0]

Finally, after months of using a broken reel I've got the cash together and bought myself a stradic ci4 2500. I could not be happier with my purchase! It is so nice to actually own a decent reel, it's so smooth and wraps the braid on the spool so nicely.I spooled it up with cheap braid that i had lying around (can't afford decent stuff yet) and it still cast and retrieved like a dream. I took it for a very brief redfin flick and managed 4 reddies that were tiny all between 3 and 5 inches! Not a very serious test for the reel but god it's better than what I was using :)If you're thinking of buying one you will not be disappointed!Cheers SS
