Hi Ross, I use both of them for albies an bones. They both fit rods from 7 to light 9 ft well. 20lb braid gives you a great cast and holds up well with the tunas. I use a minimal amount of backing as I've come close to bein spooled a couple times as the biggies don't really give a damn about how expensive line is LOL. the Stradic has been around a lot longer so that is it's best point. The bugs are worked out of it. The price for the Cabo is not bad like the Stradic. The Sustain 5000 is very nice as I haven't been able to kill it yet-3 yrs LOL. The cost of repairs can be tough on any off them. New sometimes is cheaper. Hope to see you on the Island . Ron
