dustin11 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I am trying to pick one of these for my next spinning reel. I am looking for pros and cons of both. Thanks Quote
kschultz76 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 cI4+ is lighter and has a bearing under the line roller. I've loved my CI4+ and very happy I chose it. Quote
Flywatersmallie Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I own a Ballistic EX. True the CI4+ is lighter, definitely not smoother though. That Ballistic is, for lack of a better word, connected. There is no gear feel, no play, no nothing. Basically you wind with no distractions. Reminds me a lot of the old Daiwa Certate in terms of feel. I am really impressed. The previous model Ballistics are really nice too and you might find a deal on one of them with a little shopping. Cabelas had them for $99 for awhile. Another option, just to throw it out there if you are looking for the light weight of the CI4+ is the Okuma RTX. I won one, it hasn't seen the water yet but feels really nice in hand and is like 6 oz give or take. Just another option... Quote
HookdUP Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 A ci4 is godlike when it comes to that range of spinners to me ... Only surpassed by some of the Japanese counterparts Quote
I.rar Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I absolutely love my 1000 ci4+. The most expensive spinning reel I've purchased to date but definitely worth its retail price,imo. Never owned a daiwa reel. Quote
Frogfather Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Haven't fished the Daiwa but I can't imagine it's better than the Ci4. Ci4 is one sweet reel! Quote
bootytrain Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 TT did a review on the ballistic recently. Got good marks from their pickiest editor. I think the ballistic looks better but the Ci4+ has x ship. Quote
