Got the fk 2500 on my egi rod. Be very surprised if you can find a better reel for that money.

Stradic fk on my egi rod too. now the line roller isn't seized it's a nice reel to use. The new CI4 looks the goods too, the older model is great. I'm happy with the fk but if I was buying a new reel to use for flicking SPs or jigs all day I'd go for the lighter more expensive option (CI4). Dinga and ottos tackle world seem to have the same regular price as BCF when they are on 20% off.
