Stella 5000sw or Certate Hyper Custom 4000
November 29, 2011, 10:45:02 PM
Hi all at GTpopping. I am considering one of these bad boys to pair up with a Daiwa Emblem Pro 762 MHFS 20-90gms, 1.5-3 PE. I want to use it for the Portland Kingies/ Goldcoast GT's casting smallish poppers and stickbaits and slices. The line I want to use is PE 3 50LB which I can get about 260m on each reel. I think the reels are very comparable in line capacity, price, drags, quality, strength, weight and upgrades. Can someone please help with this predicament LOL. Also, credit to Luke, Brandon, Mark and everyone else who put in the time to make this one of the most informative forums about hardcore lure fishing around.

hey... i have had both reels.  Tested both and I recommend the Stella 5000sw.  It literally smokes the Certate HC.  I got the 12.5kg drag on the Stella vs only 8.5kg on the certate.  Also, the stella is more robust and is smoother to crank when hooked onto a fish.
