Chris,
I got sick of waiting for you to buy a stella 10K SW for me to try, so I just bought one and brought it down to the field to test against my 4500z.. both reels spooled with 40lb PP using a 1322 w/ lowriders and casting a 3 oz. M&D's pencil.. Took 10 casts with each (measured with a nikon rangefinder).. The 4500z averaged 110yards. The stella SW averaged 118 yards with the furthest cast being 125 yards with the stella.. One thing I noticed is how easy it was to crank the plug in with the stella. Man is it smooth and super fast.. I will say though it is louder than my saltigas.. the saltigas just feel more solid and more quiet.. I love em both
can't go wrong either way
