"Effing fool" the conversation didn't need to go down the path of personal abuse pretty pathetic.

It's the way you call people "fools" when imposing (not sharing) your views , you effing fool!

Re: Shimano Stella
Its great to have so many differant opinions.
Personally I think there over priced for what you get.
Catching big fish is a skill that takes a while to aquire.
The most skilled fisherman for big fish I know are the indigious....and they have handlines or at the best very basic gear.

Re: Shimano Stella
rb85, out of curiosity mate, what sort of gear do you own.
you seem to be of the opinion that the expensive gear is a waste of money. so what in your opinion is value for money for bread and butter species.

Re: Shimano Stella
Same reason people buy an Audi over a Kia or Hyundai - they get a warm fuzzy feeling and think they're somehow superior.
"Badge Snobbery" or something?
Amount of money spent != Better Performance ... and don't give me this toss about "smoothness" ffs...

Re: Shimano Stella
I own a range of gear from Stradics, Salinas, Azores, Daiwa Revros, Bait runners, Charter specials. These can be used for fishing for Snapper, Gummies etc and even for casting lures or trolling small skirts for Pelagic Species. These would be mid range product which will last a lot longer than entry level gear for the amount of fishing I do but also don't break the budget.purple5ive wrote:rb85, out of curiosity mate, what sort of gear do you own.

Expensive gear is not a waste of money for the right application Purple. If I take up Game fishing and am going to do it regularly I won't purchase TLD's will be Tiagras or Makaira's.
The construction and Drag system of a reel like a Stella is created for game like performance in a spin reel and anyone who targets calamari knows you don't need a reel to perform at the level a Stella was built for.
