Hello all,

 

I've been doing some research and can't find the answer.  I like the new Stradic FK 1000 sized reels for bass fishing light tubes, jigs, senkos, etc.  The 1000 is the perfect balance of weight and line capacity.  However, if memory serves me correctly, when Shimano rolled out the Stradic Ci4+ the 1000 sized reels didn't have the same drag mechanism that the larger sized reels.  Does anyone know if this is the case with the FK reels?

 

Thanks.

 

 

The current Stradics use a single drag washer in the 1000 size and a stack in the larger reels. They work the same way so i wouldn't say they are different mechanisms just that the 1000 is scaled down to handle the anticipated lighter lines. I assume the K series will follow the same path.
