hi all,

i have just had given to me by my daughter a simano stradic specialist 12" rod, it is in mint condition although it is second hand. i have been looking to try and find any reviews on them but cant, have any of you guys come across or used one in the past

cheers

The Stradic rods are old but pretty damned good. They weren't quite top of the Shimano range in their day, but they weren't far off. It was from the mid nineties and will have had a retail price well in excess of £100. Get it used.
