Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques

U.S. Market Stella Vs JDM and Australian

<< < (3/9) > >>

Allan Chan Hian Lian:
If both are the same can anyone explain why the price differential by 20-30%? It'll take a big sucker to buy a JDM..
BTW, I'm a big, big sucker...  :-[
Can Shimano stand up and stop all this query.

Chuen Fan:
I think the JDM models come with a few other accessories (extra handle knob etc), hence the price difference. I could be totally wrong!

Mark Gonsalves:
When comparing the schematics from my SW8000HG JDM and the schematics that accompanied my other Stellas the parts look like the same ones except for the knobs....................and maybe some cosmetics.  When I sent in my JDM 8000 for servicing,  they replaced many parts and sent the reel back right away.  I purchased a 10000 spare spool US market and it works on the JDM 8000.

Mark Gwynne:
This should cover it. Safe to say they are the same mechanically so you are not getting an inferior product when you buy the export version. The carbon knob is actually pretty expensive. I guess with the cheap US dollar the difference in price between the two is even more exaggerated.

Cheers, Mark.

Sha Zhang:
The Carbon Knob on the JDM is $200 on its own, so i would assume the extra you pay for JDM model is because of this upgrade/s and any other possible bling upgrades . I don't own any JDM models but i do have standard export models.
