I've got a 5000 Stardic. Throws braid great. Good reel, and as canalman said keep it oiled, especially the worm gear. If this reel gets no oil and no rinsing it will squeek and at times the handle will stick when reeling slow--most annoying when retrieving swimming plugs. Keep it oiled. It's a good little reel.
