I bought a Stradic 2000 with the front drag earlier this season and just love it, looked at the 4000 when I bought it, I thought about the difference in weight over the course of the day that's why I went eith the 2000. It's on a IMX STR 1082, awesome combination!!!!! Front or rear drag, whichever you decide go with the Stradic or no less than the Symetre.
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff
