Haha. Same thing happened to me about 3 weeks ago. I went to Half Hitch and picked up a Stradic 3000 w/ 15lb power pro. Swung by one of the ramps on the northeast side of the Destin Bridge and ran into a HUGE school of 30-40lb Jacks. 3 mirrolures later, I had the 4th one taking off towards the bridge. Luckily he popped me off on a piling or I would have lost all of that power pro. Lots of fun though!

I've landed 30lb yellowtail on my stradic fl 4000, very smooth and strong reels

Hey brother I do same fishing same area "yes I know that spot" Next time place your rod tip downward and pull to the left or right it'll up the chance of turning him Good luck :) happy fishing

thats what i was thinking too...i was like he sets his drag so loose. you could tell just by the first fish he caught how loose his drag was. then a fish just spooling him probably cuz he set to like 5lb drag when he should have just tightened it all the way and used his hand to help cool the washers.

I agree about setting your drag from start, but he is soaking bait and leaving it in a rod holder. If he set his drag tight while in a rod holder, then that's a good way to lose your whole setup into the ocean.

Never heard of the c14. I’ve heard of a ci4 though.

There was zero difference after being spooled. Still smooth and free. I think that's due to the quality and it only being spooled once. If it got spoooled repeatedly I imagine it would start to wear or melt shims. Thanks I will

It is still as butter smooth as the day i bought it. Im no fanboy for any brand but i always go back to my shimanos...

Here is one, proven downside of adjusting your drag WHILE the fish is taking line: inertia, even with the best materials ever made for drags, "an object at rest tend to stay at rest, an object in motion tends to stay in motion". Think of pushing you car by hand, it is MUCH harder to get it going, then to keep it going. So, if you watch your rod tip with a hooked fish, you will see it go way down until the drag starts to slip, then the rod comes back up quite a bit, cause it is harder to get the drag to start, then to maintain. So while it is running, you crank the damn thing down. Then the fish stops and when it starts to run, suddenly "the drag seized up"; no, it didn't, you cranked the crap out of it WHILE the fish was running, don't do that. Set the drag before you ever hook a fish then leave it alone

@rockyslay4310

After that first run the drag was probably so hot it could not be clamped down anymore. I don't think there was anyway to get this fish in. It's standard speed was already fast and those sprints were really impressive haha. The underside of the Saragos drag knob is aluminium so can't overheat like the rubber underside of the Stradic drag knob. I wonder what the new Stradic SW has. I would assume the same as the Saragose. This video made me realize that the Shimano 2500/3000 difference is not only the drag and deeper spool but also the handle. The 2500 has the simple I-handle and the 3000 the T-handle. I can't decide what's nicer so I will probably buy both haha

@@fadelover123 Yeah, I was ignorant as to how it works. It DOES have anti-reverse, so first, I guess we can call it a reel. What it does NOT have is a lever to take the anti reverse OFF. THAT advantage is that it is sealed better, the only down side is you can't "back down" he line, turning the handle one, two, etc full cranks down if you want to lower your bait down in a measured way. I BOUGHT ONE, by the way Lyf, and as luck would have it, caught on 6 pound line, a 5 pound catfish; that drag is as good as any drag I have ever seen--ever, on any reel.
