And Now It Has A Reel…

I’m just leaving Bass Pro Shops in Vaughan with my new Shimano Stradic C14 2500.

The new Stradic will be going on the G. Loomis GLX rod I won in the Bass Parade giveaway.

I wasn’t absolutely certain about what reel I wanted when I arrived at the store but after picking up a few (in a price range I never thought I’d be buying) I felt the Stradic was the lightest and best option to fit my current fishing needs. I have to admit that the staff member I was dealing with was very little help. His response to my questions left a lot to be desired. Maybe if I’d gone during the week I could have spoken to the person that was recommended to me. But I think in the end I’ve gotten a reel that will serve me well and I can’t wait to try out the combo!

As a side note – Scum Frogs were 20% off so I couldn’t resist adding a couple to the collection. These are my absolute favorite frogs to throw. They caught us a lot of big fish last year and you can’t beat the price.

One more week until trout opener!

    Sweet reel. Bummer on the BPS Service. I have been to a lot of them and have only ever gotten 2 guys who really knew their stuff. Normally, I know more. Alas.
    You’ll love the reel though!

    I have two other Stradics myself. Not this particular model though. I love the ones I have and yours is an upgrade too what I am using so should be ideal. Happy hook ups!

  3. Years ago a friend with too much money had a Shimano Stella. I got to use it. If I had too much money, I would get one.
    Stradic is on my shopping list for this year. I have been using Spirex for years, don’t laugh, I like the trigger.
    I’m hoping I can get a Stradic with the double handle. That’s the other reason I liked the Spirex. No fumbling around for the handle that way.

      I’ve been thinking about buying a Spirex for another rod so it’s great to know you’re happy with it. I’m hoping to get the Stradic out for some use soon…such a shame to have it just sitting around right now!

What do you think? We'd love to know.
