;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D lost it with that remark RW!!! ;D ;D ;D steezy, sounds like you must get this reel now!!!! ....if its like that, id never come home! Im gonna go look at it this week and will probably buy it to try and see if its all everyone says it is. Im thinking Medium Light rod, what would be the best high end choice for a reel of that quality? steez, glx, ....... Mine is paired with a Megabass Destroyer. I love the set up.

Both are nice reels. But, I read somewhere that the Aerowrap II on the Stradic and above reels are better for braided lines that further alleviates the line from digging.

I've never tried the Steez. I am coming from the opposite spectrum, I am a Shimano guy and want to try out Daiwas. The Stella is comparable to the Steez but mind you I've never tested the Steez, I'm just going by price tiers. The Stella uses magnesium frame and side plate and I do believe the Steez does too. If memory serves me correctly in the 2500 for both models the Steez is actually lighter - but I am not sure if the 2500 Daiwa is the same as a 2500 Shimano. I have Shimano reels from the Stradic FI to the Stella. In my opinion, I think you should take a look at the Sustain as well as the Stella. If you are in the market for a Stella, I think the Sustain offers more value for the buck. The best value in my opinion anyways is the Stradic (both FI and CI4). Good luck.

Hail marys x 5 Thanks guys

Hi new to this wonderful and informative forum, I've asked this question on the tackle tour forums but I want to get all of your expert opinion on the matter as well I recently received as a present the St Croix Legend Tournament Bass 5'10 skipping stick with a line weight of 8-12 lbs. I like the feel of my CI4 1000 with a 6lb test on it. Is it a cardinal sin to go under the line weight for the rod? What are the drawbacks to doing so? Thanks for any information you all may provide.

Just got my CI4 2500 last Wednesday. I love it. I got mine from fishermanswarehouse.com They shipped it out the day I placed my order. I know ***.com just got in a shipmment of the 2500's as well.
