            [...]I got the reel for Cheap and when that deal comes around again, I'm looking forward to buying another. Great reel, used it several times so far and loved it. The only bad thing is, you end up not wanting to use your other reels after playing with the STRADIC CI4.

            Shimano's introduction of the Crucial rod line and the Stradic CI4 reels are a perfect match that takes finess fishing to the next level. This combination will run you close to [$] but so far seems well worth the investment

              Comments about Shimano Stradic CI4 Spinning Reel, 7 oz.:

              I have the C14 and love it especially for it's light weight. I also have 2 Shimano Sienna reels that sell for $30 and they are unbeatable. I have just ordered a Shimano Soros 2500 reel. Why? because it sells for $130 so it must be better???
              I convinced a fishing buddy to get a C14 and he is elated. It's the only reel he is using now and plans to buy another.

                Could be the best reel Shimano has ever made. Has all the great Shimano features, and is now extremely light. Shimano claims that the tolerances are tighter on the reel... and it sure feels that way.
