Stradic CI4

[callwakeup]

Does anyone know when i'll be able to buy the new stradic at BPS?

They have them on order. The majority of the reels will begin shipping in September. I know Tackle Warehouse has them in stock right now. Fisherman's Warehouse also received a few.

I know that I cant go wrong...but i need advice: Stradic CI4 or Sustain, which one to get.

Do you want a lightweight spinning reel? Go with the Stradic CI4.

Weight is important, thats why im waiting for the CI4 instead of picking up a Sustain right now. My question is i guess - what gives the sustain a higher price point? What aspects of performance / durability does the Sustain have that ill be sacraficing for the lighter weight of the CI4.

The Sustain is an Aluminum framed reel which is more expensive to produce. The Sustain also come with a spare spool. Both spools are bearing supported with Titanium coated spool lips for improved performance with braided line.
