Need Help Identifying Stella and Exist Spinning Reels

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Need Help Identifying Stella and Exist Spinning Reels

Post by tacklejunkie2 » Thu Jan 03, 2019 2:58 pm

As the subject states I need some assistance. I understand the different spool sizes, but the letters are confusing. I know that PE refers to braid and I'm sure others refer to the gear ratio. It appears that the JDM reels have a whole different lettering system like putting the letter "C" in front of some of the Stella models. What does the "C" stand for?

Here are some of the letters that I found.

Shimano - MHG, XG, S, SHG

Daiwa - XH, CH, CXH, C, S-H, S-P, RPE-H, F-H and F.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Daiwa S-P I believe is the shallow spool designation
