sup guys may be buying a Rarenium this winter depending on the following answers... Have some questions.

My take is this is one step above the Stradic, is that correct? Which Stradic? Ci4 or FJ?

What's the difference between 2500, 2500S, 2000, 2000HGS, 2000sfb and 2000S???

Typically I would want Stradic Ci4+ quality minimum without going as high a Sustain. But would go over for right price...

Thanks in advance!

It's the Stradic CI4+ with a better color scheme and I believe slower gear ratios. I like my 1000S a lot although I have not used it in months. S stands for shallow spool. HG stands for High Gear. C would be compact body.

Main difference will be the colors and rareniums will have slower gear ratios.

I have a 2500S (shallow) and it has a little less capacity than a 1000

Just scored a *** 2.0 spinning rod which I really don't need lol off BuzzedBait so looking to switch it up for the reel. Depending on the tip I'm prob gonna be using it as a 1/4oz spider jig and tiny T Rig presentations. Either 6/7# straight fluorocarbon or or 15# braid with FC leader. Any recommendations on reel from the lineup???

I'm on IPhone or Mac how/where to translate

There is a way to translate with an iPhone but I don't know how.

John made me buy a Rarenium last fall and have been very pleased. Great reel, I ended up getting a 2500 and its on a NRX 852 match made in heaven.

It all purpose setup. I throw - drop shot, shakey head, weightless senkos, Ned rig, split shot. I have 20lb braid with 8lb sniper fc.

Does it have carbon drag or the felt pads?

Felt.

I use Google translate. It translated a Japanese Diawa manual for me enough to understand what I needed.

Felt.

Do you or anyone else reading this have a Ci4 Stradic to compare drags. Say I went carbontex would it be same size?

What level is the Soare BB? Same as Symetre? And the Soare Ci4, Saros level?
