Stradic Fi
Submitted by Colin Hay on Wed, 2008-01-02 13:54
Anyone tried out the bigger versions of the new Stradics. I am particularly interested in the 6000 and 8000 to match a 9 foot Starlo Stick.
All input would be most welcome.
Thanks Colin Hay

Can't comment on the bigger
Can't comment on the bigger sizes but I've got the 4000FI and I've given it a pretty good workout on barra, jacks and threadies over the last couple of months. It's a nice smooth reel for it's price and I love it. Only problem I've had is the drag clicker on both spools has packed it in.

I was going to put a Stradic
I was going to put a Stradic 8000Fi on my 9' Shorespin but I went for the Capricorn 4500J simply because of the convenience and I pretty much use Daiwa for anything...
However, 6000 size is perfect, and I suspect that 8000 would be too as it is only a fraction larger.
A stradic 6000fi with the 9' shorespin is a killer combo! I would definitly do it!
My manager Joffa used one up north and landed a nice sized YFT on the outfit from off the back of a crayboat... the pics may be up on the bluewater site, not too sure though... but I can vouch for it heh.
He was using a stradic 6000FA and a 9' shorespin so nothing wrong with that!

G'day Colin I assume you're
G'day Colin I assume you're talking to me. I beleive the drag clickers could be replaced quite easily depending on availability of parts.

Yeah sorry mate. It is a bit of a worry that both went.

Colin there's no difference
Colin there's no difference in size between the 6000 and 8000, just the spool capacity. Both also running the same gear ratio.

If they are anything like the Normal spheros they would be another good option.
