Imma throw this one in the mix too. 

 The new Penn Clash, (laugh all you like Shimano fan boys :P) 

 The 2000 for the dainty among us 
 the 3000 for people that want a good crank handle. fantastic drag etc with great line capacity for softbait. 
 
 And the 6000 for those who want some grunt for jigging / stick baiting. 

 Light weight, most excellent Line lay. metal body, CNC machined Alloy composite main and brass pinion on the 2000-3000-5000 sizes and CNC machined Brass main and pinion on the 6000 and 8000 sizings... 

 I own the 3000 and it would be one of the nicest small spin reels I've used sub $800 price range.

Makka
Brilliant marketing I think, so many more great brands around for you guys to choose from , however with the saturation advertising & promotions of this brand hard not to believe it is the best for all applications. Great for my reel repair business, cheers swordfishsteveSmile

I also just got a fk stradic 2500 while the sustain gets fixed and agree it is an amazing reel for the price. I might just leave it on there once the other reel is fixed.]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2015 11:47:11 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=111712&PID=1588888&title=new-reel-which-one#1588888 <![CDATA[New reel, which one? : I have the same t curve rod.

I have the same t curve rod. With a fj stradic 4000 with $25 carbontex drag upgrade. It pulls 5kg under perfect test conditions in my lounge. Less in a boat. That is all the rod is capable of pulling. It holds close to 300 meters of pe1.5 8 carrier braid. More than enough of line that breaks at over 10 kg. I've landed small gt's kingfish to 18 kg, big Spanish Mackerel and lots of other nice fish on this outfit. Never let me down once. But I always keep my gear serviced regularly. ]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2015 22:33:59 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=111712&PID=1588175&title=new-reel-which-one#1588175 <![CDATA[New reel, which one? : If after Kingies I&#039;d go for...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=111712&PID=1588170&title=new-reel-which-one#1588170 Author: OneWayTraffic

If after Kingies I'd go for the 8000. The only advantage of the 5000 is less weight and a higher gear ratio.

The 8000 should be more rugged all round, and has a more capable drag.

You can still view the specs and schematics on Shimanos site. The link is down, but a google will find it.

i'm not too keen on baitrunners. i'd like a 5000 size reel or slightly bigger. from earlier posts it sounds like the stradic 5000 is a quality reel. i was just wondering if it was worth getting the 8000 because its cheaper.


also looking at the spheros but hard to find in 5000 size. maybe when i get some more time on my hands i can do a better search.]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:32:58 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=111712&PID=1588166&title=new-reel-which-one#1588166 <![CDATA[New reel, which one? : Thats not really simplifying...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=111712&PID=1588112&title=new-reel-which-one#1588112 Author: Downtown

Thats not really simplifying things at all casting plastics doesn't need a baitrunner function so just added weight to the reel with no real advantage for that style of fishing. A lot of good reels already mentioned another good one to add to the list is the latest rarenium mines been going solid out of the yak for awhile now, nice lightweight reel with plenty of drag if required. The new stradic feels mint but have yet to give mine any sort of real test.]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2015 19:17:57 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=111712&PID=1588112&title=new-reel-which-one#1588112 <![CDATA[New reel, which one? : Keep it simple and go for a Shimano...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=111712&PID=1587986&title=new-reel-which-one#1587986 Author: Norseman

the stradic 8000fj is alot cheaper then the 5000 fj. i need to order a lower end kingy reel for an upcoming trip. is there much difference in the capability of the 8000 to make it worth the extra 270grams? the 8000 will save me $70.

I agree Espresso.
I just took a Saragosa off my softie rod and put on a much lighter CI4.
The Saragosa is a great reel and I have many many big fish on it with my little rod but as soon as I put the lighter reel on my rod it just balanced perfectly and was perfect right off the bat!
The reel does feel a little cheap compared as someone mentioned but the drag is smooth and so is the wind and it's pure pleasure to fish with compared to the much stronger Sarogosa in the same size.
Loosing the weight without going to a small body reel is magical.
Like a cheap barrel heavy shotgun then someone hands you a gun thats balanced.
I get a new nano rod tomorrow and am pretty excited to pair them up.
You do need high quality for casting around fads for sure but a good fit and feel for hours of happy fishing is very important.
