I'm a Stradic fan. Based on personal experience I've had trouble with Cabo's anti-reverse when they inadvertently gotten wet, which may be something the mfg. has improved. I do like the Cabo drag.
I own a few Stradics and they've held up well - pretty good little work horses. The drag washers do seem to need cleaning regularly if the drag is to work smoothly. These are reels I often use in the surf, not exclusively from a boat.
