2500, I only know of one rod the 1K balances on and it's 5ft long and light.

Have 2 Stradic Aero 1000's Twin Handle (1994 Model) and 2 x 2500's - Excellent reels, all spooled with 4lb Maxima Green.
Maintained / Serviced regularly - Have had 1 of the Stradic Aero 1000's Twin Handle since 1994 and cannot fault performance. Purchased Rods to suit. Remember that you may only use the first 100Mtrs on line from each real any time - I respool each reel at the start of every Trout season. Either reel would be an excellent choice.

Re: Stradic - 1000 or 2500
are you getting the FB (red spool) or FK (silver spool)....I think one is for salt water and one is for fresh?

Re: Stradic - 1000 or 2500
Im not 100% sure, but I have the silver one and it's heavier than the red....I'm sure someone on here will be able to answer this properly thoughblakesirus wrote:FB, oh i didn’t know that. was probs gonna use mine for both. i read the new stradic’s can’t rust bc they’re not metal? could be totally wrong tho. yeah it’s got a red spoolMattblack wrote:are you getting the FB (red spool) or FK (silver spool)....I think one is for salt water and one is for fresh?

Re: Stradic - 1000 or 2500
The ci4 is the FB, the FK isn't ci4.
The answer depends what rod you're putting it on. I just brought a 2500 FB to put on a 1-3kg lox yoshi and it balances well. I think it's more versatile than the 1000.
