They are fine reels for beginners, usually $29.99 - $39.99 during a sale.

ugly sticks have never been even close to a good rod.

hot sauce is basically the worst thing you can put in a reel.

hmmm looks like a johnny morris to me.

more poor quality products that break all the time

anyone?

What do you think of this reel? How does it compare to the newer models of the stella? Its tough to find any info on it anymore. I have the chance to one for $200 in great condition... what do you think?

you realize that nearly 100% of "monofilament" lines are copolymer... its all marketing

use two for dueling banjos

i have the same reels as you do. When I got my stx the first time I went out I hated it, but now I love it. You just have to figure it out, 30 minutes to try to get the hang of a new reel is a joke. Its a much hotter reel than my shimanos. It seems like the spool spins a lot faster then them, you ju...

It does get a little old when the same people always are pushing pflueger reels and cajun red line (same company) when anyone with knowledge of fishing knows there are way better products for the same price.

the review doesnt really matter that much. Has there ever been a negative one?

yup here it is


graphite piece of garbage frame ---->10 cheap bearings---> handle with dumb wood piece ----> garbage can




enjoy

I noticed that too. Its a real pain to tighten. Plus then you look at the schematics the really only uses a couple good bearings and the rest ore cheap ones. I would bring them all back and get stradics.

umm, abec 5's are NOT a good bearing
