Had a super big grin when I heard the last few responses to "sell the Stella and by a Stradic".

New the Stella was an awesome reel, silky smooth, tons of drag and of so pretty but then read a report on a big fishing tournement on Long Island and 3 of the 5 "big guns" had something called a Van Stalls....sssoooo did some research and found out that this was the reel of choice for solid Striper fishing, a real work horse and the Stella probably best from the confinments of a boat. O.K. So I made an "oversite" (polite way of admitting a mistake). I'll just have to be real careful with her until I buy my VS "back up" reel that some have posted I should have, then I will have the best of both, refinement and ruggedness, Kind of makes sense anyway. If I break my one and only reel I'm screwed so a 2nd backup is a must.
