Twinpower vs Stella

Post by smokin_reels » Mon May 23, 2022 3:39 pm

Apart from the fact that the Stella's are fully sealed and have way more bling value.
Thoughts on how a twinpower stands up?

Looking to get a couple of 14000 for an upcoming trip in December chasing real fish. :tu:

Having seen both in action recently, I can't split the 2. However, I'm talking about a 2500 stella and a 3000 twin power. The twinpower handled a 1.02mtr Mulloway with ease on 20lb braid and leader. The stella I have seen handle a 42cm bass on much lighter line with ease. 14000 is insanely large and I have no idea how they would compare but I don't see the point in spending huge dollars on a reel that big when there are many at that size that would do just as good a job. are you fishing for whales?

If its any consolation to you.
The only shimano reels I would get are those 2.
The twin power is a very very good reel.. almost got one last year..
If your spending that much, also look at the certate SW models...

The issue is if they break down on me in the andamans, chances are I can get a Shimano fixed quicker.

Probably still overkill but if can afford them then why not
