Stradic 4000 or 5000?

[bezzy25]

What size Stradic for a starlo stix 4-8kg? currently with a sienna 4000. Should i get a 4000 or a 5000 Stradic, the sienna fells too light for the rod, is there much weigth difference between a Sienna and a Stradic, or should i just go the 5000

Cheers Bez

what are you chasing? and what type of fishing? placcies?

[bezzy25]

ummmm tuna here, placcies for snapper etc, barra if we go to monduran again sometime,

5000 i'd go
got more line retrive per crank for tuna & mackies and still light enough for placstics for snapper

[bezzy25]

yeah and a little more reassurence if i happen to hook a beast

[gozz]

I'd go the 5000 mate,I've caught stripped tuna on my 4000 and the drag has trouble stopping the bigger fellers,I had to use my fingers to stop the spool spinning of at a thousand miles a second.

[try to fish]

4000 n 5000 share the same body n only different is the spool....right?.its the same case in the previous model.....the FD sustain n FH stradic.want a bit more drags...........go greased c/f washers instead of the oe white whatever washers.

thanks everyone

Stradic 4000 = 329 grams
Stradic 5000 = 390 grams
Sienna 4000 = 350 grams

Go the Stradic 5000 mate, extra line capacity and extra drag for only a tad more weight.

Currently looking at getting one myself.

Good choice mate. I'm bout to grab one for chasing rat kings and some medium bottom bashing here in SA.

Awesome bang for not many bucks.
