>>314248What can a Stradic do that a Cardinal can't? (I've had both)
Try having a gear system that is 10x smoother and stronger
try having a drag system that can take x5 as much as a cardinal and is infinitely smoother
try having a reel that undisputedly has the highest quality ball-bearings in the fishing industry
Try casting so far and so smoothly you cream your pants everytime
Trust me, I've had Pfleugers, Abu's, Diawa's even a shitty Mitchells. Each one only ever lasted me 2-3 years.
Once i switched to Shimano, I never went back. I still have everyone I ever bought, one is reaching 10+ years and still glides flawlessly.
And hers a vid to prove it, Guy catches a 20lb drum on a 1000 series ultralight Stradic and an Ultralight panfish series St. Croix.
