Message: <blockquote data-quote="gnappi" data-source="post: 437429" data-attributes="member: 22374">Update 2...Today I fished with the Stradic for about an hour, and noticed something odd...Y'know when the line wraps once around the tip or the bail and it seems to drag a bit reeling it in? Well this happened today, and AGAIN I found that the 8 lb line was under the spool. Luckily I noticed it, spun the reel backward and removed the line from under it without it locking up the reel.I currently have Penn, Mitchell / Garcia, Shimano, and Finn Nor spinning reels and NEVER EVER had this issue in the 55+ years I've used spinning reels. I take 3 rods and reels on the boat, so no biggie there, a PITA for sure because I use all three and can live with two, but for walking the SFWMD system with one rod, I simply cannot trust it. So for $225 I have an impressive wall hanger or one that's limited to boat use where backup is available.</blockquote>
