IX series for almost 4 decades here. I fell in love with the quick release and they’re so inexpensive.

Wish someone could unpack the different models with the Shimano Sedona line (FL vs JK vs FI)

[icperch]

The Shimano Stradic ci4+ is no longer in production. Because the buyer gets confused with the FL it has been replaced by the new 2021 Vanford. The nasci and ultegra series have both been updated this year as well. So when is the new video coming out? :-)

What would you suggest for medium heavy rod.

[EckzoTheFirst]

Do you know of any problems with the thunnus 8000 with "knocking" when the barrel is fully extended while spinning?

[joshzfishing]

Hey mate do you reckon a 2500 shims o Sahara would be good with a Samaki Zing Gen 3 3-6kg for bream and whiting or bigger fish?

[irabah]

Stradic FK, FL, Ci14 & SW. I think all these models have HG reels. Which model is the 2nd?

[surshtexpert]

The Shimano I just bought, isn't on this list!!😢

[bartcasto]

Why are the pics with the reels on a rod backwards lol ridiculous

[osmodivs]

I can only afford the Shimano FX 2000...

The nasci is trash. Bought 2. They both had the same freaking problem after a few outings and ended up in the trash. After some use the main gear rubbs on some kind of slider device every single time it passes under the gear.
