shimano stradic(previous generation)

awsome reel, had both the 2500's n the 4000's. used it from sunfish(2500) to musky(4000), works awsome. only down fall, the handle base broke on most of the ones i've had. otherwise it's a great reel.

awsome reel, casts smooth n quiet n also retreives smooth n quite. very nice chrome body, too shiny to scratch up. 3yrs n still no sign of wear n tear. down side, shimano should've made the drag a little stronger like the a.g. revo.

also a great spinning reel. have a 8030mg n a 8040mg, both reels been great. only thing i wish it had better was the drag system, it's not precise enough like the stradics. after 2yrs the bail on the 8030 is starting to fail, sometimes it doesn't click close all the way. the antireverse also doesn't stay lock when instant hookset is performed. but the 8040mg has been flawless.

when new is was a smooth reel, i bought it for casting cranks n spinners. after about a yr, it has shown significant wear n tear. not smooth anymore, u can feel the slack in the components. a great beginner reel but for pronlong use, i don't recomend it. for the price there r better reels out there.

awsome reel for the price, works great, strong drag, but is showing some wear n tear in less than 2yrs, so we'll see how it holds out later.
