Sad.  One of the best 1000 series reels I had, for a good while was that Quantum PT with all the rainbow colors on it. 

You mean these ones Drew ?

Worked just fine this morning.

I have a Stradic, never a better reel at any price. Somehow a Daiwa ended up on a rod of mine. Oh yea I was given it as a gift. I have 17 spinning reels, 16 are Shimano. 

If you feel like dropping a good chunk of money, check out the Shimano Exsence MHG. I just bought the 3000 size and have been blown away with how smooth it is. There are better reels than the stradic. They just cost a lot more but man do I love this reel.

Look at the Pflueger President reels. Great reels and price does not break the bank.

Yep. I picked up a President reel and rod combo (one piece rod, 7' long) at a Gas Station in a pinch for $110 + Tax. It is a surprisingly good setup and so far appears to be of great quality. Very happy with my gas bar combo.

Good call, can't go wrong with a stradic.

Bought the Nasci earlier this year and also very impressed.
