The Strdic cant even compare to a high end Okuma spinning reel. They cost about the same but The Okuma is FAR superior.
I own 8 Okuma spinning reels. Epixors Metaloids and the VS. NONE of them have let me down EVER The first one I ever bought is smoother than a stradic and it has been used almost extensivly in the salt.
That one reel has probably caought 1500 bay bass. The finish is worn off and it looks like hell but it is still super smooth.
