Anyone have experience with the Shimano Stratic FL and Vanford in the 1000 size? I picked up a new high end UL rod at the sportsmans show yesterday and have pretty much decided on one othe these two.
Not the 1000 but I have a couple 3000's that have been fished a lot for chinook and cared for very little and they are still great. Workhorse reel for me.
