[rodmy]

Bought one of these recently, a very nice reel, smooth and very light, would recommend it(IMHO)

Looks sensational. Any further info? (bb's, weight, pice etc.)

[Hattori Hanzo]

i think they're just a little dearer than corns......

[breamN2wheels]

i payed $139 its nothing like the corns but im pumped i got it, so i thought id mention it

[Nath_18]

I think Hattori is referring to the caldia not the Symetre.

Hey guys my local tackle shop has the new 2006 model Caldia Clix reels - the 2500 model which has a claimed max drag of 7kgs sells for $319.00 here in Bris Vegas. All the models are around that sort of price. They seem like a really good reel for the price, unless you want to go the whole hog and buy a certate custom or certate finesse.

Bream2Wheels , oh my gawd, mate you need to PM and let me know where you got it from cos in Sydney they are retailing for $299.95.

I just brought another stradic. Got rid of my Caldia kix 2000, i never liked it to be honest it just felt cheap to me, call me crazy ive turned to Shimano now, and ill never go back to Daiwa. Each to their own though, the new model kix looks good but ill stick with Shimano.

I love the good ol' Stradics too....
