reels of course... i dunno how cabelas got them so fast, but i ordered a stradic ci4 and a patriarch xt. should be here in a couple days im so excited.

nvrmnd i got a back order email... anyone else order either of these yet?

If you mean Shimano Stradic's. I got a big honkin' 8000fi saltwater reel I use for Striper fishing (and your occasional bullshark ;D). It's a pretty slick reel.

did they give you an estimated ship date on the Ci4?

I think I read some where those reels were not going to be released until October.

thats what I thought too.

You have to be careful with Cabelas on new releases. If ordering on the internet it appears they have items in stock. You place an order and then you get a backorder notice. They did this with the Curado and Citica E. You will find that they will be one of the lastg top get them. Tackle Warehouse will usually be among the first.
