Title: Please help choosing my second reel !
Post by: Saikat Barik on June 21, 2013, 11:02:24 PM

Hey folks,

I am planning a second reel to go with a PE8 set-up...

I own a stella JDM 18K which would be paired with my new Reversal...

That leaves my YB Atlas GT 76/8 rod...

New stella 14000 or New daiwa saltiga dogfight?

Hope I won't start a debate now...:(

Regards,
Saiki

Saiki,

No doubt a Stella of-course! Dont worry you will not set a debate rolling as the days of the debate are long gone by, as long as comparisons between the two go. However that said, quite a few of us own both the stellas and the dog fight  primarly in my case it was just a reel which was a bit more photogenic and reasonably strong performer for GT with upgraded drag washers.

Now that question of a black reel is solved with the new Stella and you have now a solid reel that performs and looks a stunner too.

Stella SWB 14000 - 690 gr.
7000H Dogfight - 842 gr.

I fish my YB Atlas GT 76/8 with a Stella 10000 plus the NO LIMITS 16000 spool. so the new Stella 14000 is the perfect match.
I had the chance to take a closer look at the Daiwa just a couple fo weeks ago and for me the 7000 size it is way to large and heavy.
