BCF has reduced their Shimano Stradic price for members ($199). Usually $259-$329 (depends on size). Cheapest on eBay around $230. You can also get it from Motackle (also $199), but you need to + delivery if you don't live nearby.
Stradic is considered a work horse for fishing reel. Robust and good strength for drag.
I have a few Shimano reels, and stradic is probably the best bang for the bucks.
