Sustain or Stradic

Should i purchase 2 stradics(1000,2500) or 1 1000 sustain?? What are your thoughts on this, all will be used for breaming. price remains the same between the 2 preferences but it comes down to value for money. I know that both decisions are value for money but which one is essential??
Any feedback would be great and if someone could compare an contrast the two, it would be even better.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

2 or 1 ?

Tough one

I bought 2 stradics in 2500. They are in the same family - I looked at them as buying a base model mercedes.

Having 2 give you more options - eg I then had 4 identical spools for different line weights.

It also gave me a spare for comps, and one for my son to use with me.

Either way you won't go wrong - great reels.

2 Stradics for sure. That way you can run two setups (obviously not important if all you do is walk on the Swan banks... but great if you fish from a boat). The Stradic represents as good as you'll need for bream fishing... with the Sustain obviously you get higher-end features inc. better line-lay, less loops thrown, and a smoother retrieve and drag.

Def. go for two lower-end reels that are extremely appropriate anyway. If you had said you were chasing GT or sambos then you'd want to go for the most expensive option possible. It's bream fishing, and the Stradic is a great reel for the job.

cheers
