Anyone own or know much about new Stradic?

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.

Meant the new Sustain* My curiosity is peaked, as I’m eyeing it vs a JDM Daiwa Certate

on one hand I heard its awesome

on the other I heard its not worth $100 over the Stradic FK or Ci4+

hard to say really. the older models were all metal (even the rotor at one point) and had the titanium spool lip too.

new models have none of that good stuff lol

Well it's a black ci4 with an extra bearing on the spool and on the clicker area with an extra one on the knob...something to that extent.

I wasn't impressed with my stradic FB at all. Snapped both the idle gears in less than 5 sessions...
