I have a big saltist that I use for reds and drum but want something lighter for inshore and surf use. I was looking at the stradic CI4+ but im not reading that it can be used for surf. Any recommendations? Plan on pairing it with a Lews 7' med 365 carbon nanolar.

Best bang for your buck is a Penn Battle IMO

Used a Ci4 this weekend. So damn light. I want one. I don't know why it wouldn't be able to be used for the surf. i would imagine you would be good to go.

I'm sure some would disagree, but I think that 4000 is bigger than what you need for general inshore use. We were catching 35" reds on the 3000 series with no problems.
I don't surf fish, but I could see wanting more line capacity in that instance.

If budget isn't an issue....shimano Stradic

I have a different opinion on surf fishing.
I sure as hell would not take a high dollar Stradic into the surf. I don't care how well sealed up they say it is.
I buy cheap 30-40 dollar reals for surf fishing. Clean them afterwards and when they go out I chunk them.

I'd stay with Daiwa and get either a Balistic 4000 9 bearings or A Procyon, 4000 8 bearing. They are both Mag Sealed now so salt water will not get into the reel through the shaft. $209- $159. Any other reel the salt water gets to the bearings and the guts of the reel through the shaft. 1/2 the weight of your Saltist. 13.9 oz. on the Balistic, 4000.

I have at least 10 ABU Garcia Cardinal 503 albi's. Have to wash them every time you saltwater fish but they are light and tough I have caught tons of is on them and even a 30+ red.
