Stradic Vs Spheros


Bolts

Recommended Posts

Looking at purchasing a spinning reel to use on a 10-12 foot beach/rock rod chasing salmon/kingies/bonnies and snapper but also double up as a reel to use on boats chasing Jews/Kings. I like the looks of either of these 2 reels but haven't had any experience using them.

Does anyone have an opinion on which reel outperforms and why? And what size should I be looking at getting?

Thanks in advance.

i have never used a stradic but the spheros is a great all rounder. has the easy cheap option of the stella drag and handle upgrade too. once done will handle just about anything.

Hey there, i have a few Stradics. I have a 1000, 4000 and 8000 top reels! The 4000 is a smooth performer and caters for a wide range of applications.

Yeah, I'd love to get a Stella but unfortunately the budget doesn't stretch that far. Sounds like the Spheros is a better reel than the Stradic though. However I think the Stradic does offer a spare spool for another size line which would be handy, I think the Spheros doesn't.

Anyone else have an opinion?

Would the 8000 size be overkill for rockfishing?

Cheers

I wouldnt bother going for a 6000 over an 8000, as its just the spool thats different between. May as well hold more line.

The stradic is more of a nice reel than the spheros, but the spheros is pretty tough. Plenty get used for jigging without dramas, seems they punch a bit above their weight. If you wanted spheros tough but maybe a bit nicer you could look at a saragosa, wouldnt be much more $$ than a stradic.
