2018 stella

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.

Startup is super quick and very very smooth.

Love it. I've fished it quite a bit on the 902s Conquest and also on the X7 Simoom. It's a phenomenal reel as you'd expect. We sold through all that we had in stock early on and the reviews have been glowing. Finally have a few more on the way now! On a side note, I'll have new 2018 Exist soon for some dueling spinning reel battles :lol:

I was excited to see how much they cored out of the rotor to reduce it's weight! Didn't think they could improve the feel of the fi..but they did

That’s great stuff! I got my C2500SHG from Japan preordered I’m hoping it ships out soon. Found out that the 1000 spool will fit as well so I’m excited for it to come in.

Hey Bronzefly any update?
I got already my CNQ 902s and need reel for it. Can you tell some words about your feeling Stella vs Exist please.
