Stradic versus Stradic CI4
Submitted by Dave G on Tue, 2011-08-09 22:42
Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether the Stradic CI4 reels are worth the extra coin over the regular Stradic reels & what the reasons for that opinion might be?

Stradic ci4s are for more
Stradic ci4s are for more finesse. Normal stradics are built stronger.
So depends on what your doing.

I have both the FI and the
I have both the FI and the ci4, they will both do the same exact job, Just the ci4 does it 50 grams lighter, but is that worth an extra $70? And do you mind giving up the spare spool? That's what you have to ask yourself.

As mentioned finesse
Lighter, faster, stronger. You will always pay more as the technology increases. Is it worth it? I think so. Just last week got the CI4, and I can feel the difference between the 2. It just feels more finesse, and if you catch a fish with a lighter rod/reel it just feels better.
Plus it looks better. Like a Fireblood off steroids.

Have done
Have done around 700hrs of demersal jigging with the C14 since December. I have landed over 500 fish including 30kg Sambos, 15kg Spanish Mack, 15kg Mahi, 10kg Tuna, 12kg Pink snapper and plenty of Dhueys to 17kg, far more than just a finesse reel, well worth the coin.

Whitey what line do you run
Whitey what line do you run on your ci4? It's a 4000 isn't it? I have one aswell but didn't consider it for jigging until recently
