Yeah, sure!

OK! So it's spinning with some backplay for a long time if you go for shimano and solid spinning but under a shorter amount of time for a lot of the other brands if I get you right. I have had daiwa certate reels sins years back now and never experience any trouble mechanically at all. But of course those reels are twice the value compared to the stradics and I guess you get what you paying for in the end. But don't get me wrong, I think the stradic is a nice reel overall it's just that I been spoiled that tight smoothness to long and have trouble to adapt to another feel of spinning. If I give it some time maybe the stradic is my first pick when going fishing. Who knows! Tanks for your input and info! Anders

Tanks for the great info. The backplay on the reel is about the 1-3 mm as you stated. I think that's pretty sad for a reel in 200 dollar range. It seems like shimano and spinning reels ain't my cup of T. Anyway, one more time tanks for the information.

Hi! I’m a happy fisherman from Sweden and I got a question for your guys in the US. Now I don't know if this is the right forum for this kind of question but as I'm a member here due to my interest in making baits, I thought I might give it a try anyway. Well, I bought a shimano stradic FI 3000 reel on the bay and I have fished the reel a couple times now. It is a nice reel in many ways but one thing is getting to me and I just can’t let it go. The reel have a small backplay at handle. I just can’t tell if it’s the gears/ Super Stopper bearing, joint in the long screw in handle or something else. Maybe this small amount of back play is an acceptable tolerance for a reel in the price range like the stradics? I have a couple of daiwa certate and okuma VS reels by comparison and there is no such a back play on those reels. So before it's even worth getting inside the reel, is there anybody that have a stradic FI and experience similar back play or can set me straight? Anders
