My sisters name is Stella, but at age 58 the reel is much prettier.

I've got a Stella 20 that I sometimes use (when all else fails) to troll Japmacs Hong Kong style. I don't know why this works so well, I suppose it's the tall rod that gives the bait some extra action, and for some reason it's only biggish cuda that falls for this desperate measure

Post by: Lofty on February 14, 2014, 11:02:12 AM: all that technology,and no rubber around the spool to stop braid from slipping... :dunno: how do you prevent slipping..?Is there a knot that one can tie around the spool with braid that prevents this..?VERY good looking reel though...can't justify the price of buying one for my application so will never experience what the fuss is all about... :cry:

Not really sure that that rubber makes that much of a difference ? :dunno: think that the braid will cut into the rubber under stress.

Just use a turn of masking or insulation tape

Post by: Lofty on February 14, 2014, 11:41:42 AM: I think that it's easier to tie braid onto the spool with the rubber thingy... :dunno: I think if you couldn't stop the fish before it gets to spool you and where the braid cuts into the rubber you'd probably not stop it anyway... w;k :hehe:

Post by: Cam Mundy on February 15, 2014, 08:15:09 AM: That'll be a very pricy shad reel :hehe: looks like they will e SW models and not FE like the old ones probably for the Asian Micro Jigging market.
