From my experience JDM  sellers only sell JDM models.

Note - The regular Rareneium model gear ratio is 5.0

The US model Stradic Ci4+ is 6.0

You can get a Rareneium with a 6.0 gear ratio -  it would have HG in the model name.

 

Hope this helps

Okay I found it. I'm seeing a Stradic and also the rareneium, do they just also sell the USDM version?

No.

Okay so I'm pretty much set on the rareneium ci4+.

Only thing that kinda worried me is the 5.0.1 gear ratio. I know there is a HG model but I can only find the 1000s. Do you think that'll be too slow? Btw I'm doing mostly shallow fishing. I definitely won't be doing any drop shorting in 40+ ft of water haha

A lot of us use 1000 size Shimanos for bass fishing

with no problems at all. And with braid, you can get

enough line on the reel, if you really need more drag,

use the palm of your hand. My 6.6lber in my avatar

was caught with a Stradic 1000FI in thick slop and 

timber. 10lb PowerPro + a leader.
