Re: New Stradic
X2 ballistic. If fishing hard though, esp from the yak, might wanna look into something sealed. The magseal is nice but it's sort of a false sense of security. Its not really sealed per say. Its magnetic oil essentially that's supposed to push the bad stuff out/away. Great, great reels. I own 3. But one failed (older EX) back bay fluking from land. Not sure if a bearing is shot or the magseal went, or the 3-4 30+ lb cow nose rays smoked it lol... but if you're gonna go hard and spend a lot of time on the water, I'd go sealed like a VS or VS-X. Who cares about the weight difference... enjoy one larger arm and the security of having a sealed reel.
