Ha ha ha was waiting for someone to raise that brand.
Did take longer than i expected though :=)
Patrick Cooper:
I was all about the saltigas, now I have both and I will never buy another saltiga again... IMO the stella is a much better reel, though i cant comment on the 2010 saltigas as i don't own one.
Also as mentioned hundreds of times before, on this and other forums, if you have ever had the pain of dealing with the daiwa service team the decision is an easy one... just my 2 cents worth.

ANDRE!! >:(
You can get into a lot of trouble here for that but you get a free pass for your Bassas de India report. Do you think that Pierce is Jeff Eldrin or God knows how which other faceless name from various forums? If the Diablo 10000 was good for tuna up to 350kg and marlin up to 300kgs, Not to mention skull-dragging groupers up from 400m, the new reels could truly be wondrous.

****Sorry Brandon, I couldn't resist.... especially seeing as these have popped up yet again in a newer version, with pics, in another forum, and recieved the same treatment... possibly I think because once again it seems to be the same troll " I'm not affiliated with the company in any way, but these are a 100 times better than Stella/Saltiga" who is punting them... funny stuff.... sorry Brandon.... ;D ****

The S-extreme Maverick came out a few years back. It was an Aussie only retrofit. The main thing being a full carbon drag.
Daiwa released an even more recent range in 2010 which has more advancements throughout the whole reel.

I thought the S-Extreme went to carbontex style carbonfibre composite washers instead of the full carbon ones used in the other saltiga Z series. the startup inertia catches you by surprise a bit, especially coming off a stella SW. Everything else aside the drags are smoother than the saltiga Zs out of the box. Im a Stella fan/owner/user but can admit that except for this most other comparisons between the reels are largely subjective, even though it is clear that the stella is the pick of the two ;)
Matt Kilpatrick:
Does anyone have an idea when the Stella SW will be upgraded or replaced? I expect there will be a newer model released at some point in time. I'm thinking about a buying 20000 (to match my 8000, 10000 and 18000 reels) but I am in no rush to purchase. I just don't want to by one and then find a replacement model comes out 6 months later.
