Yeah, that's the video that made me want better pics in the first place.
Shimano just likes to tease.

Looks awesome...

Where does this place the CI4+ now price and performance wise? Will this reel be better overall (minus weight of course)...

I wish it had the titanium spool lip, like almost all JDM have. Probably doesn't do anything but I like it and feel it's a sign of quality. Stradic will always be a classic in my book though. I hope it's nice and smooth.

This reel is overall heavier than the current CI4+. If you click on the current FJ on the current catalog on Shimano's website, you'll see they're starting to replace the FJ with the FK details. Since the models are laid out with the flagship on top, I wonder if the FK truly is ranked under the CI4+ Stradic.. I'm also wondering if they're going to create a CI4+ model :-k
