for wat sort of fishing?
Must be light weight like stradic ci4?
Rarenium, biomaster, daiwa fuego, sustain, ultegra.
All the above are good fresh water spinning reels.
Cheap bang for buck would be pflueger supreme xt

ohh saltwater then supreme xt & patriach not ngam due to the Mg body. Although it says salty approved but i wouldnt wanna risk it.

Based on your requirement, i assume you setting up a light jiging, bottom, casting setup. Do you intend to go beyond 10lb line?? Cos 1000 & 2500 spool is small and limitted line for sea fishing  unless its just shore or shallow waters.
Stradic ci4 is bout 650 more or less, if you can afford a lil more, get the sustain, impressive drag for bottom and sea bashing. Sustain 1000 has 7kg drag, whack in a spool of 10lbs sufix 832 and let the fun begin!

confirm less then rm400 , because i was quote pflueger patriarch the most expansive 1 on pflueger model only rm456

if not mistaken

sustain around 600-700

biomaster sw around 900

ultrega around 500

sustain 1k was rm715, no spare spool also.
But the darn daiwa fuego 1k was the ultimate reel at rm850, felt like a stella.

that ebay guys is local seller but dont have store i go ask see the reel cash on delivery he rejected me
so i m dont trust trading with him.....
for plueger you can go to ocean tackle seri kembangan , they have ex stock
you can hold it into your hand as test it , i just try it on sunday if damn light for a 4000 size reel .....

didint notice stradic ci4

but i do see bro 1dollar test the Rarenium ci4

1 day we should all come out for TT to meet each other out

Stradic FJ got Full metal body and CI4.
Rarenium CI4+ comes with spare spool (damn smooth)
Biomaster can go salty
Sustain strong drag.

Price
Stradic Ci4 cheapest among all
Then Rarenium
Sustain
Biomaster

Bro,
Your target/budget to get those SHimanos ady tells me you can afford the good stuffs.
So I would really advice you to get the Rarenium Ci4+
You still need to find a matching rod, Rarenium 2500 is a UL/L reel.
Get a rod with max 12lbs and you will have more fun fighting fishes.
6'6" or a 7' rod will allow you to cast far far with lures below 5g. But if you more keen with bottom fishing then 8-20lbs rod would suit better.
My honest 1dollar opinion

it depends on whether u are casting or bottoming.

if casting, i would prefer the higher ratio.

imho, a rod with rating of 3-7lbs line, paired with a 1000/2000 reel seems to be the most versatile setup for fishing around the klang valley. no fish is too big and none is too small for the setup. you can throw lures up to 7g-10g easily.

lol i and vince316 just go to EAK today ....

OIC.
Yeah I'm still unsure about Exotic and it's catch rate. For the amount you're paying...hmmm maybe I'm just cheap haha

Was told about this $3 Barramundi pond. Anyone know the name?
