I have a 4000 and 6000 Stradic, love these reels, in the Rhode Island surf (if you and yer gear get wet when you fish) you may want to pick up a Waterproof Mitchell Nautil (if you can find one).The Shimano's are great but the Mitchell handles the water better.But if you only get yer ankles wet while fishing then absolutely go for the Shimano.Hope this helps...
