Dan Hanon:
Felix, I'm with you regarding Hawk's reviews. I too haven't heard of any widespread problems with the 2013 Stellas. He bashed on Shimano for using a brass pinion instead of stainless steel, as if it were a major downgrade. I'm sure the engineers at Shimano had good reasons for using brass, maybe to increase gear smoothness-I'm not sure. I also haven't heard of any widespread rotor problems. I do enjoy his reviews, and he obviously has high mechanical acumen and fishing experience.

Given its weight is about the same as Stella 18k, size slightly larger (not like the gigantic Stella 30k)

Yes. I think it is an ideal size for a serious GT reel.

I'm considering one as a double duty reel for BFT & GTs :)
Ross Smith:
Saltiga and Stella ??????
They are both brilliant reels provided you don't stretch the poor things necks and treat them with a little TLC. (tender loving care) :)
