If distance is the goal it is NOT a good match IMO.

The Stella does not like the concept guide setup on the Mojo.
If you have the chance I would try before you buy.

I agree. Before Mike finished my Century, I went back to my 11' XRA 1322 with 6 COF guides to match up with the 10K.

Just as an FYI---I'm aware of two total main gear failures on VS reels since last September. One main gear went to pieces on the very first fish its user hooked---a schoolie.

I would go with the ZB if you need a "wet" reel. Original Saltigas are getting scarce, and the new ones run around $1100 and have that new magnetic seal deal which isn't proven, so I think the Stella SW would be the better choice of those two.
