Saragosa
is a workhorse compared with the Stradic IMO. I have used and abused at least 6 off them from 5-14 000 and they have stood the test up in Karratha/Dampier. Fishing down south I have a few Stradics and Sustain's added to the arsenal.
What I have found is that the Sara's cope better with a dump or drop at the beach. Sand doesnt appear to effect them as much as the Stradic and Sustain that this happened to. A wash down is all that was needed for the Gosa, but the other 2 needed a thorough clean.
Other than that apart from the size issue they are all good reels. Cant comment on the Saltist, but that is way bigger.

This is what I have heard
This is what I have heard about the stradic, high maintenance when it gets a bit of sand/salt through it. Depends on the application but it appears a a sealed drag (no the stradic) is what you would want for a good spinning beach reel. I was talked out of the stradic for this reason and it sounds like it was good advice.
I disagree.

OK
but if looking at comparable sizes you should be looking at the 4500 Saltist, the 6500 is more like a 10-12000 size Shimano

ive had the sustain 6000fg
ive had the sustain 6000fg for about a monthe and i used it spinning, popping, and off the beach. It really is a lovely reel and ive had Stellas, Stradics, and Spheros's. I wasnt sure about the foam knob but i wouldnt change it now, doesnt get slimey or sweaty.

You buying online yes? I was
You buying online yes?
I was just looking and purchased a new spin reel this week myself. From shop too online store was up to a staggering $50 difference once you take out freight. And from one online store to another I managed to save a further $20-$30 bucks. All in all almost $100 saved by waiting those few extra days haha
I disagree.

Sorry?The stradic is on sale
Sorry?
The stradic is on sale at the moment at an online store. But no I sorta had an idea of what I was after,
The biomaster was over $300 without shipping at one online store, and after my mate helped search and found it on US ebay for more around the $200 mark.
I disagree.

The saragosas are a great
The saragosas are a great reel but if you're looking at a 6k you might as well go the 8k as they're the same body size, it's only the spool size that's different.
