Yes, it's a great reel. Not to knock the Stradic, but I think the Spheros is a better reel for the surf. It's built for saltwater, the Stradic really isn't.
Look in a Shimano catalog sometime, there's only three reels listed in the saltwater spin section. The Thunnus, the Baitrunner, and the Spheros.
Save a few bucks unless you need the spare spool that comes with the Stradic. You can also just buy a Spheros spool separately and it will still be less $$.
Either way it's real tough to beat Shimano customer service in the event you need it.
