Man I really like the Stradic, it's alot lighter than the others I've been looking at and it seems to be built alot better. Next question...should I bump up to the 6000 for the extra capacity and more drag or would the 5000 be good enough? The 5000 is 7 oz lighter than the 6000...

What kinda fishing you doing needing a 5000 or 6000 reel? If its for inshore fishing all you need is a 3000 or the biggest a 4000. I use shimano stradic and would not use anything else.

What are you planning on using it for? All purpose? Cause those are some big reels... i use symetre 4000's and have caught some big reds on them with no problem. I wouldnt go with anything over the 4000 if you are gonna use it for trout and reds.

I have only bought one reel in my life and picked it up because it was the same name brand that my other reel was. This is the first reel I am buying that I'm actually looking into it before purchasing it.
