iputmyhoursin Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Anyone notice that the Stradic FL's are all sold out? Nearly impossible to find a 5000FL right now. Does it have to do something with the supply chain? "In every species of fish I've angled for, it is the ones that have got away that thrill me the most, the ones that keep fresh in my memory. So I say it is good to lose fish. If we didn't, much of the thrill of angling would be gone." - RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 The amount of volume the tackle industry is seeing is like never before...buy asap because there will be shortages (FWIW shimano often see's shortages during summer.)

Midnightpass Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 The ci4s are hard to find as well.... Bass Pro had them really cheap, but sold out fast.. I'm thinking a new ci4 is on the way... Maybe the straight up Stradic too? Butch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcjeep14 Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Thanks to coldclam, I picked up a 4000 fl, great reel light and very smooth used it all weekend long. Can’t find a fish... but planning an early Monday morning trip!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borsig Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) I ordered mine from ebay. got a 3500 FL with the lower speed retreive because it was for a jig rod. I paid about 40.00 less than the going rate and got it in 5 days. Came fedex express from somewhere in the pacific. Japan or the philipines or something. It's the smoothest reel I have ever fished, I think. I couldn't find one either so I went to ebay. Glad I did.
