Stradic CI4+ on clearnce...new model coming?

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.

Stradic CI4+ on clearnce...new model coming?

Post by karirick » Mon Jun 08, 2020 5:14 pm

Local Cabelas has CI4's for $149.00. So far I don't like CI4 as frame material much; but if they come out with an even lighter Stradic with the long stroke spool etc; I'll want to handle one.

Any news I missed?

Yea last cycle they updated the Ci4 right after the FK, should be the same this time around. Must be an ICAST release, I suppose?

No ICAST this year but there seems to be some out of the ordinary drops coming. At least for companies that I have ties to. You didn’t miss anything sir. The new CI4 will be popular from what I know from those that have Shimano ties.

Yea I bet it will have the same feature set as the FL, just in the lighter CI4 package. I really like my FL, so I have no doubt that this will be great too.

Thanks for the replies. Guessing stock will be pushed back due to Covid; but I'll look at one before I buy another spinning reel.

Most companies are doing their absolute best to partake in the virtual ICAST. Of course a good many will be lagging with that endeavor depending on whether distancing has eased within their facilities.

I think they should do away with the CI4+ and redo the Sustain with a CI4+ frame and all the FL upgrades, plus magnumlite rotor. Put it between the Stradic FL and Twinpower, since the Sustain is currently the redheaded stepchild.

A popular reel repair man says Shimano is dropping the Ci4 spinning reel from their lineup.
