Quick take
The 2019 Stradic FL C5000XG is a silver spinning reel that pairs a compact 4000-size body with a deeper spool for extra line room. Its extra-high gear ratio of about 6.2:1 picks up line quickly, and Micro Module Gear II aims for a smooth, even turn of the handle. With braided line in mind and a maximum drag of 11 kilograms, it suits anglers fishing bigger water with heavier spinning gear.
