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
