should shimano have entered a new bait runner when the old was so solid?
is shimano's old baitrunner and old white stradic going to start an erra in ten years like we see with the old american made penns? does a bait runner reel need to be smooth or just reliable. |

It had to do with patent restrictions. Also Stradic is a seperate company bought out by Shimano. They origionally marketed the Stradic brand without risk and later bought out the brand.
