Hi All,
I don't know if you're aware of the U.S. site Scissortail Sports,
http://www.scissortailsports.com/. David who owns the business has great deals on Power Pro, (he also has an eBay store where he sells assorted Power Pro). The prices seem really good on the U.S. version of the Shimano Stradic, (which as you may know is a higher spec than the European version). You can check out the full specs on Shimano's North American website. The 3000 is $129.95 and the 4000 is $149.95. These are $159.99 and $179.99 respectively at Bass Pro for example. He has most of the other sizes in stock too.
He seems to restrict his stock to just a few items, but has great prices. He is also willing to order other Shimano models, I don't know if the price will be as good, but I'm sure David will let you know if you are interested.
Just thought I would let you know in case any of you are on the lookout for a decent reel or braid.
