Looking to upgrade my 1000 size spinning reel on my imx pro SJR 901 S light powered spinning rod, for use with 6 pound mono. 

 

Which reel between these two should I get? 

 

one thing I don't like is super fast reels. The stradic ratio is 6.1:1 and I think the Ultegra is 5.0:1 

 

how much faster is the stradic?  

 

I'm also thinking which one will look better on my imx pro rod lol

 

I mainly throw inline spinners like the #3 mepps and small crankbaits. 

 

thanks 

You must be looking at the 23 Stradic FM1000HG as that's the only variant currently available - that one has an IPT of 29.5" where-as the 25 Ultegra FD1000 has an IPT of 25.0"

 

Back up the Stradic to the 19 Stradic FL1000 and the IPT drops to 25.0"

 

The HG designation in Shimano spinning reels is for 'High Gear' and is primarily for export, where-as the non-HG models are usually only available JDM

 

Another option is to go with the 23 Stradic FM C2500S, slightly larger body and line capacity, but the IPT only jumps to 27.6"

thank you
