Shimano Stradic Ci4 - ICAST 2009 "Best In Show"

CI4 stands for Carbon Interfusion with the 4 referring to the number of electrons in the Carbon atom. Ultimately, this means CI4 is reinforced Carbon Fiber. It is over one and a half times stronger than our normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20% lighter. Because it does not contain metail, it is impervious to rust. So, as a result of its strength and weight, we can create an extremely lightweight reel with very precise tolerances.

Depends on what fish your fishing for but if you want a great rod for the price get the new shimano voltaeus there 50 bucks and have a super sensitive tip id go with a 7 foot or 6'6 medium action... there extremely durable

I love the new stradic the weight is unbelievable but if your a weekend warrior try out a few of the lower priced models. You'll get great quality and save a few bucks. I fish upwards of 5 plus days a week and I never complained of a soar wrist from casting a few ounces heavier. I use the new stradic for both weight and durability. It does crush anything in its price class.

@mikayla122007 Any 6-6'6" Fast, Medium fast rod will do. I should never say any here, I'll get an ear full. It all depends on your type of fishing I guess. I am a hard core float tube fisher and I pair my Stardic with a St. Croix Premier/PS70MF. This works great in the tube and I fill one spool with 6 or 8lb test and another with a medium 15 or 15 plus praid for heavy cover. I carry a secon pole for ultra light fishing. I am not afraid to use the Stradic for ANY size fish...
