Thundercat has it right, Ken. Stradic 2500FH. Aluminum Frame and spool.
Steel, cut and polished gears, not aluminum cast. 4 sealed ball bearings and
one roller bearing. Stradic reels deliver the goods over the long haul.

The inexpensive reels are throwaways as far as I am concerned. Use them a
couple of years, maybe, and get rid of them. Then go out and waste money
again buying the same inexpensive throwaway reels again and again. I am not
saying that the inexpensive reels are not good, I am saying buy it once for
the long haul and save more money that way. The Stradic will not disappoint
you.

Hello group---
If you were going to buy a good spinning reel to go on a 7' MH rod what
would your choice be.I have several lower end spinning reels and thought
I'd spring for a better quality reel.Any suggestions and why
Thanks for your time
