penn captiva are great
penn captiva are great little reels IMO, and running that line weight it will last you for ever. My dad uses one for inshore work and is smooth as with 11 BB, plus they are cheap. No point spending big $ IMO

imo
It's dollars and cents Spess. I have a small Stella and the Affinity 1000, both great reels but for the money the Affinity is awesome, a unique worm-drive reel, custom designed and built for braided line so yeh all good!

Thanks guys i just think
Thanks guys i just think that a stella is too much for chasing trout and redfin everynow and then. Affinity sounds like a winner. please honsu and ryan send me a pm with your best price on a affinity 1000 and 2000 if they make one. Cheers Chris.
