Bdjr1 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 May have to take a trip to cabelas or bass pro to see them all side by side before deciding on one Quote
timsford Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 The ci4+ is lighter than the fj but not quite as smooth in my opinion. Ive fished with both because my friend owns both but i havent fished either long term Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted September 8, 2014 Super User Posted September 8, 2014 I like the FJ better than the CI4, and I like the CI4+ better than the FJ. Quote
Capt.Bob Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I like the FJ better than the CI4, and I like the CI4+ better than the FJ. x2 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 8, 2014 Global Moderator Posted September 8, 2014 Patriarch! I have 2 I got one on EBay that was broken and missing parts. I sent it in and asked if they could fix it for me. They sent me a new one for FREE! Had a similar experience with a Supreme MGX recently. The sideplate screws had worked loose without me knowing and ended up with damaging the internals of the reel on a hookset. Sent it in with an explanation of what happened. Less than a week there was a brand new Supreme XT in the mailbox! Not only replaced it but upgraded it! Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted September 8, 2014 Super User Posted September 8, 2014 Pure fishing is like that. I've sent $150 reels in for a basic cleaning and have gotten new reels back. Doesn't make me wonder how much these reels really cost to make, not near what one might think. I was involved with a manufacturing co, $10 msrp item cost about 50 cents to make. 1 Quote
Bdjr1 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Well nobody around had any of these models to look at, so I went with a gut feeling & ordered the ci4+ in the 3000 series Quote

Bdjr1 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Hope so , I ordered 4, got a super price Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted September 10, 2014 Super User Posted September 10, 2014 I prefer the 2500, because it has more than enough capacity. The 3000 is a fantastic reel as well; especially if you got a good deal. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 11, 2014 Super User Posted September 11, 2014 Okuma makes some good spinning reels. I have one of the cheaper models & it has never let me down. Its about 3 years old & still going strong. Ditto I been using the okuma expoitor and the fin-nor spinning reels for quite a few years now. I been also using the viva and globe spinning reels too. There popular in Russia and the land down under. The viva has been on my worm rod for over a decade now. But I buy more okuma spinning reels I probably own more of each side. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted September 11, 2014 Super User Posted September 11, 2014 Pflueger, hands down. Quote
Bdjr1 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 Does any change out the EVA handle, just wondering if it holds up good Quote
