I've got 5 Stradic 4000's, 2 FE's, 1 FG, and 2 FH's. The FH's are sweet. The Sustains are even nicer but twice the price of the Stradic. If you had the $20 Cabelas coupon you could get an XML 10 ft rod and 4000 Stradic FH combo for $209. Considering the 4000 Stradic is $139 that is $70 for a nice graphite XML rod.
