No I will not be David. Rules of the comp are you have to kill the fish.

Saltywater Tackle:
Hi Rob,

As Trev suggested none of those reels are adequate for GT 's on the long run, however we've been fortunate enough to be part of the field testing for the Saragosa and they actually improved on it, I use it and abused it in harsh environment and it did not fail me,
it does not have the drag power that we need and you can always palm it if you feel the need for.
the following is some of the catches while the reel was under testing:

Southern Oman


Socotra


Tanzania





  Tight lines
    Sami

Rob Powell:
Thanks guys, lots of great advice here (and awesome pics)! I have a Stella 10,000 FA with a 20,000 spool that I will use to fish PE8.

When we know the fish are generally smaller on average I'd like to throw PE6 around. The Saragosa will be for this purpose. While I would love another Stella I just won't fish it enough to justify the cost unless I can pick up one up second hand for a reasonable price.

I'll pick up a 10,000 and an upgraded spool and let you know how it fares.

If anyone has 10,000 Stella SW on the market let me know!
