New Stellas
Submitted by 81macca on Thu, 2013-08-29 11:27
Anybody using the new Stellas and what do you think of them? Better or worse than the SW model. I have had couple of minor failures (bearings) with my SW's and looking for a new reel for GT's. Looking at the 18000 or jumping the fence and going to the Dogfight. Its not so much the failures it's the time the reel is away getting fixed that pisses me off.

I had thought of lashing out and getting one of the new sw's but then I read Alan Hawk's review here http://www.alanhawk.com/reviews/13SW.html and it sort of put me off. I use mostly stradics at the moment and for the price difference the problems I'm hearing about with the new sw's don't really justify me spending the bucks. Considering a catalina at the moment.

Cheers gav1970 that is a good read, I have destroyed way too many stradics to go back, good reel for the dollar though.
