I have recently discovered that the bail spring on my daiwa d-shock has snapped. I'm looking for a quality reel, as I maybe looking for a rod upgrade in the future months. I've read many good things about this reel, everyone seems to love it. Any feed back would be amazing thanks

Why not replace the bail spring?

For a rod and reel I paid 50 bucks for 4 years ago. She's had some use thought it'd be more worth while to replace it with something reliable and newer

Great reel the Stradic CI4 2500 is really light compared to my Stradic 2500FJ but the Fj is a smoother reel overall.

Ill play with both of them throughly before purchase. I'm even considering bringing the rod I'll be mounting it too for more feel before purchase.

Funny, rods and reels are sold separately. I need a reel, a more expensive rod may come later... Thanks though

thats like putting $100 laces on $10 dollar shoes

 

spend your money on a better rod which is going to contribute to catching more fish

in any regard the stradic is a good reel, you can find a lot of good reels at that price point. Have a look at tackletour for reviews

when spin fishing, your reel works the hardest, you need it to stand up to the wear and tear of constant casting and retrieving, it doesn't matter the cost of your outfit, but how it performs and how comfortable you are with it
