I had a look at 5 reels today, Stella 10000fa - R6750

Warwick - At that price, new, this is where I'd be looking! No questions about it.... For serious GT popping, and just about anything else, this has been the standard and benchmark against which everything else is measured, the only reels that are close are the new 18000SW or the Saltiga Dogfight, but are both vastly pricier....

At that price, new, I'd look no further..... Spend the money you save on a HIGH QUALITY braid such as Varivas GT Max, or YGK Ultra Castman in PE8 and you are sorted to handle most things the ocean can throw at you...

Hi Nepps

I have asked them to keep it aside!!! So all I need now is a rod and some of the line you mentioned Varivas GT Max, or YGK Ultra Castman. 

Where would one get that line in CT?

When will the Ocean revolution rods be available? No point in having a beast of a reel on a tooth pick!

Once again thanks all for the input guys.

Hi Warwick, the OR's should be arriving in SA by end of July. That is the way to go (a Black Devil 200 already has my name on it for my Stella 10K FA.)

We will let you know which models are arriving, and when, as soon as we have a provisional ETA from Randy & Sami

Very good price on that Stella you got there bud.

Hi Royboy

 

That sounds like a plan, hope they arrive by mid august, May be going on a last minute trip in September. Will PM for more details.

 

Thanks

Warwick, they will definitely be here before 14th August, so you will be "weaponed up" before September.

We will be carrying OR Black Devil 100's, 200's, Widowmakers and Stealth STK 76.

Feel like a kid in a Candy Store - can't wait for them to arrive!!!!

Thanks for all the advice. Now just for the rod.

Cheers

Hi Nepps - please could you give me a shout when you get some testing organised. Also looking for a casting stick to go with my Stella 10k - need to replace a broken monster mesh. Something smashed me last week in Lagos....thanx bud.

Will do for sure mate, when are you back in town? If you're around this weekend, we can put teh Carpenter through its paces.... OR rods will only be in stock in a couple weeks... But its nice to get an idea of casting abilities of these rods ( and ourselves )....

I'm also keen to test a few different connections like the PR Knot, and Cairns Quickie on Twisted Leaders etc,10K spool vs 20K spool etc to see what works best....

Are you around this weekend? We could hit the Vlei or some piece of water big enough...

 

[Fin-S]

Not this weekend - have to visit JNB to see some pussycats get punished...will be in CT from Tuesday and will call you if thats OK.

 

[Nepptune]

Sounds good mate.... Call me when you're back... you better not be wearing Red on Saturday mate!!!

Been watching this thread with interest...

Fins please won't you give us some details as to what/why/where the MonsterMesh broke?! What rating was it? There are several blokes who own them on Sealine, so details would be appreciated. Sorry to hear 'bout the break! Tx

Only the floss for Lolly's place afterwards where I shall lead the traditional rendition of Swing Low ... evrything else is green and gold.
