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.
No point being a tight arse when shitting is the objective.

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

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

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?

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.
