50 Minutes ago I got an email from TW that "Back in Stock at Tackle Warehouse", I was working at the moment and I needed to reply two business emails. By the time I am done I check the TW email and see WOW Stella 2500 is in stock (original expectation date was sep 24), So I said Hell Yeah I am getting it and I clicked and saw only one left so my hands start to shaking and did get it as fast as I can and pay for it.

Guys I have no idea how many was available 40min before but I could get the last one :). I just want to tell you there is war out there on some tackle and anglers are waiting to jump on it. I couldn't believe Stella with this price go as fast as this.

I received my FK 1000 over a month ago.  Availability seems to be better now and there is always the option to pre-order or back-order.

Yes 1000 where there always. I wanted to get 2500 so I can use for variety of application. Usually I want to get what I pay for fast

Nah, I mostly fish UL/BFS for bass, except for places like Lake Amador, CA where it is full of sunken trees and hence requires heavy gear.

So let me see what is this fuss all about

First impression? Feels heavy, Feels high quality.

Sounds correct.  Add really smooth gear mesh and tight tolerance build quality to that list.  The 1000 size is not especially heavy for that form factor.  Nice pictures BTW.

I like the !000 series quite a bit. The performance is completely satisfactory for 

bass fishing. Mine is saddled on my primary smallmouth rig.
