What would you pick.....
Rarenium Ci4 FA 2500 (do these come with X-Ship?)
Stradic FJ 2500
Technium FC 2500
Stradic Ci4 2500
I just got a new rod from another BM member and it has no name. The specs are-7' 1-3kg 1piece fast taper. I put up a little pic of the grips, if you want some more to get a better idea, just let me know.
I cant decide what to get for the new rod!!! Anybody who owns one or has any feedback, please let me know. Would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks guys!!

No the Rarenium doesn't have X ship. Can't really help you a lot with those reels. Being a Daiwa fanboy and all lol! Check out the new Daiwa Ballistic though. For $250 it is pretty damn good.

I just got that same rod and i think i was told a 1000 series reel would be the best match, will have to check that,the Rariums the best reel out of that lot

i have a ci4 1000 on mine but the rarenium 2500 would work.

the rarenium 1000 is a mad reel and the handle is so comfy

Yeah, was definetly leaning more towards the rarenium!!!
So should i get the 1000 or the 2500? and also what Braid should i get for it? was thinking 8-6lb Super PE. Would i fit 300m of 6lb on a 1000?
and thanks for the help guys, appreciate it!!

i have the 1000 but im not sure how it would go on your rod. probs take it to a tackle store and check it out. i have 3lb and 6lb nanofil on mine and its great but i dont think you need the 300m tho

Probably just get 150m of 8lb then.
