I have fished a Shimano symetre for quite a few years - a good reel with
no vibration. I purchased a used nine ball bearing quantum response
re3sti this year and after relubing the continuous anti-reverse roller
bearing which had been slipping it has become my favorite. This reel
has many of the same features as the new energy pti. The one big flaw
was a finish that peeled off which the new reel replaces with the
titanium.

BTW I believe you can buy any reel from Cabelas, use it for about a
month, and if you don't like it they will take it back in exchange
for something else.Better check with Cabelas for the details, but you
can probably try both reels before committing. Also, I have not tried
the "new" Stradic 2500. The MG I referred to in my other post (I
meant to write 2500MG) is not the same as the "new" Stradic. The
"new" Stradic has a lube port and I don't know what else. It might be
better than the MG.
Another feature I really like about the Prodigy 2000 is the
non-folding handle. I think it looks great and it has virtually no
"play".
I also want to mention that I have a long hard season on one of my
Prodigies and my Shimano MG. Although they were both about the same
when new, the Prodigy is now smoother and has a more solid feel
especially when under load. Note though, the MG is not the same as
the "new" Stradic.
You probably cannot go wrong with either reel. My choice clearly is
the Prodigy though.
Too much choice...AAAHH!
Good to hear the Prodigy holds up so well.
Now I am leaning that way.

most.
