Just wondering has anybody here using the above reel? Reviews that Ive seen are mixed, Shimano says this Stradic uses Hagane Components which gives it more power and smoothness, but it doesn't say it has plastic bits on the reel like many other Shimano reels have in the last few years. The biggest let down for me is it doesn't have a maintenance port which my other Shimano reels have as I'm not one for stripping down reels, just a rinse after each use and a drop of oil now and again does me. Any views on this reel good or bad would be much appreciated.
Anto.
