I have 2500 Sedona on a 6'8" Worm and Jig medium fast Shimano Clarus for my customers and they are an excellent little setup I throw them every now and then

That may very well be true Shaw, but honestly Ive never had any thing hold up in our louisiana surf. That stuffs just down rite hard on reels in general. I would say I take much better care of my equipment than the avg. Joe, just looking how others I know tend to their Equip., but ive had them all fail from the high end Stellas to the lower line Solstaces's.
If you can keep them out of the Koolaid You can get some use out of it, but dunk that puppy one time, and its time for a bearing upgrade and one hell of a cleaning. If it was my money, I would go buy another new stradic, or stradic CI4 W/O blinking an Eye. But my moneys been spent already, soo I would say go check both out and what ever fits the budget, and or feels better. Either way your getting great products with good warranties Ive never had Shimmano deny a claim on a reel,wich has been many and have never had to bring back an okuma spinning or baitcasting! But I have seen my tackle store make their share of even over the counter swapps on okuma reels that had failures.
Thats just my $$$2cents. Take it for what its worth.
