I own 7 stradics and they are by far the best reels for the $ I have found. they take a beating and a dunking.
FYI, they also come with a washer kit that lets you change the wind on prophile to be even more braid friendly.
I have also doine the mono vs braid on the same reels and find the braid to far outcast the mono, but it does take a bit of time/experience to be able to load a rod without fear while using the braid.
