Stradic HG FK 3000 versus what else in the $170 to $230 price bracket?

Hi all. As above. Flicking plastics mostly but all sorts of duties. I have carbon rods but not super light. I loved my 3000fi. Still got it but needs some work.

Cheers

Ok bit the bullet. $199 delivered for 3000 Fk series stradic. Plus purchased a $5 roller bearing for the bail arm line runner on my Stradic Fi 3000 which is still going beautifully after 10 years or more. I never oiled the roller bearing and given that most of my fishing is salt I'm surprised the roller lasted so long.

Got 150 yards of D:8 braid 15lb. Will keep the 20lb and 30lb spools on the FI for heavier duties.

Both reels have 9kg of drag using stock felts.

Cheers
