Stradic Ci4 or W&MSkeet Reese Spinning

[squeedly]

So I took back the sedona. The day I bought it I brought the first one back within an hour of buying because it had a serious thunking noise when I turned the crank after I got it spooled up. The second one was ok but made an annoying whirring noise and didn't turn as freely as even the Sienna or a Shimano Slade 2 bearing. I actually lost sleep over my $50 practically going to waste when what I wanted was a quality reel so I traded the second sedona in for a Pflueger President 6920.

I don't feel like I am welcome in that hardware store anymore but it's not like it was without a good reason. Guess they had an off day in the shimano factory.
