bh2&cs2,
Thx!.
They put the new Shimano Stradic CI4 2500 to the test,and myself...nothing like sitting on a skate board fighting a fish. I like this reel...bought from Auburn Sport and Marine(good folks by the way)this year and had them spool it up with Izor 8lb Hi-Vis just for float fishing

8lb test! man I bet that was a fight :IBCOOL: I run 15lb mono and 20-30lb braided line. I don't  like to lose fish :chuckle: I finally lightend up my rods. I like the meat sticks, I just picked up 2 lamiglas rods the higher end ones ;). Now we got some fightin to do. My old steelhead rod was a 7' ungly stick like 15-30 line rating :chuckle:
