Re: shimano rarenium
Was looking at the stradic, technium and the rarenium myself, but I went for a good quality used stella instead.
I looked at it, like I would if I was buying a car. I woudnt buy a brand new nissan, I'd buy a quality used mercedes (i've used this comment purely for explanatory reasons
)
Have to say, best reel I have ever had in my hands in terms of build quality and you'd never know it was 2nd hand to look at it, came in original box, instructions (altyhought they're in japanese
),. tools, reel pouch etc - its top drawer, and only cost me €200 delivered.
Sorry I cant comment of the rarenium.
Good luck whatever you decide.

Re: shimano rarenium
I've an eye for a bargain carpets
Need to upgrade my spinning rod now to match it, but thats for another topic.
Sorry op, we seem to have highjacked your thread, but good luck with whatever you buy, and may the fish respect the reel your catching them with
