A pearl fishing reel? At least it should go well with your sequin handbag.

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

Oop there it is!
I wonder who owns a white Stradic, bit defensive about it too.

The review on the FJ looked good. For the price I figured it would come with a second spool.
Cheers,

heres a question for you tackle junkies:
do you think the FJ is much better than the FI?

I am asking because I am currently looking at upgrading and picking up 2 in the 2500 size.
Advantages of the FI is that it comes with a 2nd spool, and is slightly cheaper.
The FJ is newer.... however I would need to purchase a 2nd spool aftermarket..

Talking to a guy that services reels he said the new Stradic has put a Ball bearing either end of the main shaft making it run even truer. But said you should still upgrade your drag washers to carbon tex on all reels as they have the same drag system.
