Can't afford a Stella

(1/3) > >>

Doug Terry:
Cant affors a stella as I will only be using the reel for a couple of weeks every couple of years.
So the choices I have are a Shimano saragosa14000f,18000 or a Dawia 6500 saltist, Which way to go for GT's help me to decide please.

Chris Webster:
18000 Saragosa

Christoffer Hansen:
Saragosa 18000 mate, with 50-80lb they go allright just a little slow. The saltists are crap

Mick Cunningham:
Well try and find an stella FA model about 500 buck if you are lucky ...  ::) ::)

David Noble:
Can anyone who owns a Saragosa comment on the line lay?  The reason being I have spooled one up with 100lb tuffline and the line lay really ribbed up.  ie, Very pronounced valleys & peaks rather than smooth flat.  I dont think it was lacking a base washer as it was straight rather than than /\ shaped.  Could be the line diameter of the braid perhaps, but it was the worst I've seen.

I haven't used a Saragosa, I know guys with the 8000 size for jigging Sydney and they go ok.  The Sphero's is another option, which can be upgraded with drag, bearing and stella handle. I have one, and the line lay is fine.

Cheers David
