We don't get the Stradic SW over here where the PG option is available. The standard JDM 5k Stradic is also a HG model the same as we get here.Tackleberry wrote: ↑Thu Jun 06, 2019 11:45 pmNarh I got my biomaster from JDM and the stradics like the bio you can pick your ratio as well it is just typical the au market sucks .

Re: The new Stradic......
Good day
I'm about to ask a really uneducated question. Why is a high gear ratio such a drawback. Can't you just wind slower?
(I'm sure there's an obvious reason so I'm interested to find out).
Cheers, Col.

Re: The new Stradic......
Lower gear ratios offer more torque when fighting large fish and where raw line retrieval per handle turn aren't necessary. A 2 speed Tiagra will be 3.2:1 and 1.3:1 (not exact but you get the idea) where you'll settle in to a dogfight in the lower ratio.

colnick, I was thinking the same "uneducated" question, and assumed it was for lure fishing (wrightly or rongly)
but
Thanks cobby, that explained it well
Cheers, Bug , , , , who is more educated with reels now, so more likely to whinge about my reels

Re: The new Stradic......
Yeah that's it I use these 5000 size reels for snapper and I have used the 6.1stradic and the biomaster 4.8 And it is a lot easier fishing with the lower gear ratio , that and the higher ratio will wear the gears quicker with the more stress it inparts on everything .
