Iv got a newer 2500 stradic, about a year and a half old...I use it mostly wade fishing for trout and reds, needless to say it been dunked and splashed, sand etc. over and over and no problems...*zero*. If I take it off the whisker stick ultra light rod Id put it up against bull reds any day. Iv also got an older white 8000 thats never had problems with kings and Iv tryed let to sharks break it when the old style penn 9500ss is having problems and again, zero problems.

Someone mentioned stradics being a regional thing around here, I dont know about that I just use what works for me. If I was looking for another little reel id be looking for another one just cause of the luck iv had.

Although I'm beginning to suspect I am just cursed w/ Quantum - I've had two Cabo's that I've owned less than a year go "bad" and are in need of repair - it's like there is a bad bearing and they are no longer smooth when retreiving. Having said that their customer service has been great and has offered to replace them - I just need to get off my but and send them in. At the same time I have two Stradics that haven't skipped a beat and have been fished just as much - and I paid considerably less for the Stradics.
