new stradic

[headoffatness]

Any feedback on the new stradics yet? talk at the tacklesop was that shimano are dropping their prices to the $160-$180 mark...

[mangajack]

Not feedback, but I am surprised you were told there was a bog drop in price for the new model.
They are retailing similar to the old model pricing in the yank shops, I can't see them being retailed cheaper in Aus.
Best price for a 3000 FY model I have seen is almost $200 US inc shipping, Similar to the FI versions.

Which model?
I have a new stradic fj. I have only used it a few times but i'm liking it so far.

I assume he's talking about the runout of the previous model, if anything the new white static will be a little more expensive. There's a review of the new one here: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewshimanostradicfj.html

Pffffft. White is for wedding dresses.

Pffffft. White is for wedding dresses.

It's more of a pearl than a white, dickhead.

Ouch!!
When did our relationship progress to name calling? And "pearl", that's just white for sluts.

[koich]

Whatever cuz.

If you can't appreciate quality tackle colourings then it's you who misses out.

Pearl is the shiznit.

Moving on from the colour for a sec, is the new model much different to the old? And is it all sizes from the Fi?

Yeah, it's pearl.

The new model has "X ship" which is a fancy term for a new gearing system which is supposed to be stronger and smoother.

The old model comes with a spare spool though and is a good buy for the budget savvy.
