2016 Shimano Stradic Ci4+

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Video and some specs in the article. They look pretty nice and I may have to match one to my Zodias rod.

I wish the translation were better. Not trying to be a jerk; just frustrated with how difficult it is to make sense of what's written...

Anything new on this? I thought we would be seeing preorders by now.

Awesome. I just looked the other day and they were not available yet. I ordered a 2500HGS.

Yeah. JLS. Digitaka will probably be a little cheaper when they get them, but I am impatient.

The real looks super nice! I'm still unsure with the new direction they're going with excluding the anti-reverse on/off switch. I wonder if the drag washers are the same as the Stradic FK too or if they're prone to the same wear and tear as the FK.

Definitely a score in the "looks" department!

Congrats with the new real!

How does it compare to the older model Ci4+ and the older Stradic FJ?
