Nib hits the nail on the head again! 
Besides awesome stock, selection, knowledge & service... Pete G. & crew at SWE are among the finest people you could possibly buy your tackle from! Always a pleasure dealing w/ them...
Well, except maybe for Joe at SRI! (What great sponsors we have here!)... He once threw in an extra Tattoo $20. plug to my order of 7-8 plugs, that I'm sure must have killed his profit- margin on that order! But he now has a plug- ho customer for life!... and that "free" blurple 3 oz. Spook now has a prominent place in my night rotation!  |

i've been using penn spinners and abu conv. for years . no, make that decades. the penns i can take apart and put back together in 10 min. parts are easy to get. and when everything just plain wears out, i buy another and use the old one for parts. i fish so co. rocks, beach, whatever. rinse off my gear every time out. clean them inside and out once a month. 100.00 a shot. don't have to worry about sending it back to be serviced at 50.00 a pop every year. just my 2 cents.

I have no issues with buying from contacts made here. And you are so right that I wouldn't have known about it if not for here. I was merely waitng for the show to do some comparisons maybe see what else is out there...figured there'd be some side by side comparisons and all....but I need a nice stick to go with it as well....I prefer local shops as compare to chain stores. Better knowledge and better service.
So now that's out of the way.....lol

Hi Friends,
I know this question kind'a strays from the thread, I apologize. But...
A "big buck" reel I never see mentioned is the Shimano Stella. I have spun a couple of these, they seem to run smooth as silk and seem well built. Has anyone had experence with these?
Think Spring, Al

Not for the (high) Surf... Heavy as an anchor... & not submersible/ sand- friendly!  |

Smooth as silk for sure, but not even half as tolerant of getting wet as the Van Staal is. General consensus is it trails the Saltiga as well.
Potent drag and very capable boat reel though; I know more then a few charter captains that like the larger models for light tackle sharking. Great tuna reel as well.
The differences between the high end reels in this thread is much more a matter of application rather then overall quality.

Thanks LeCounts & Pete, seems these may be a good reel for me as all I do is boat fishing these days.

I was looking at the 8000. I was also looking at an 11' Tsunami rod to go with it. I don't recall the model but the kid said it was new this year.
Anyway, when I get there any other recomendations you have for a nice set up will be appreciated.
Thanks. |
