Shimano 17 STILE SS 150HG opinions and feedback wanted

[chreim20]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at this reel, if any of you guys have it can you give me some feedback of it? Looks like a curado/scorpion 70 size reel with a lot more line capacity.

Thanks in advance,

Christian

I purchased one from Japan Tackle earlier this year. It makes a good reel for high resistance baits. Not sure if I am gonna to keep it yet. The lack of external brake adjustment annoys me a little. Other than that it is really smooth despite the lower bearing count and casts well. The handle is 105 mm I believe which is nice as well

What kind of braking system does this reel have ?

Thanks for that information. Is the braking finicky or is it like the old vbs?

It has the same braking as the Brenious does, like 8 internal pins.
