I haven't loged enough time on my newer stella to say its worth the price difference but i will say the new line management system is da bomb. Casting is a breeze and line twisting is no where to be found.

I vote for the MBR842C it's worth every penny. This stick is great for dropshot as well.

It's ok. The skirt does not last long. You should try River2Sea Crystal Spin Spinnerbait

I had a chance to play with my friend's CH100Mg some time ago and just when I was starting to like the reel.......he told me that it was discontinued :beat up: I have a couple of Core and loving them. Just wondering if any lucky anglers out there who have both and can compare if the Core have lived ...

Just curious if any of you gearheads have made side by side performance comparison between the two....

Got to love the new line management system. I cast to death for a full day and line twist/wind knots are no where to be found....on the 1000 size reel. Kudos to Shimano for releasing Stradic MG 1000....about freaking time lol

Core is saltwater approved. Have it, love it and is getting a 2nd one =)

At their normal price of 59.99 to 69.99 these rods are already a great value. You would have to spend well over 100 bux to get anything significantly better.

I took the leap and bought the STL1000FD...........What A Beauty!!. I think the new Propulsion Line Management System may have ended my quest for an UL shallow spool reel. Can't wait to test it out this weekend.

Fish was caught in Southern California.

I fish Barrett a lot as well. This year was great! Too bad it slowed down this month. My buddy and I only had 80 fish when I went earlier this month :P Being able to fish LMV is a treat. I have been fishing there for several years now and I still enjoy it. Look for me in the green aluminum boat if ...

# 222 Megabait Live Jig Holographic Solid Metal Spoon - love them and have a box full =)

oops did not close the tag right....rookie mistake

My vote for the crucial any day because I'm not just buying a rod....i'm also buying their support. I have 4-5 Crucial rods for over a year now with no problem. One did snaped (my fault for trying to land a bat ray lol) It was replaced it no question asked. Perhaps some members took your comments li...

I must say that LMV and Barrett are my two favorite lakes to fish. Can't wait until next month to hit Barrett again.

ok that was off topic lol

Congrats to Jeremy for landing that beautiful beast!
