Not for me! ;D ;D ;D

And it costs only $785 .

I can't afford one!

Have been watching these go on Ebay for around the $900.00 mark.   Good things are being said about them.

Ha!  You beat me to it.  I was going to post it too.

Im gonna pick one up! ............. ::)as soon as I win the lottery.

I'm going to buy 3 when i win it! ;D

I'll stay with my stella's.

For that much money it should come with someone to reel it in for you

When wally world carries them then just maybe i'll try one ;D

Is it just a reel or do 4 rubber tires and a steering wheel pop out at some point?

It better float.

260 grams is over 9 ounces...  too much $ for 'so much' # in my book.  

Hey Raul,

We all know how you love your Japanese imports, but are you up for a thousand dollar spinning reel that weighs over 9 ounces?

I never felt one tinge of guilt over buying my steez, but now I feel like I'm a brilliant bargain shopper  

PS.  Is does look like it was made by a jewler though doesn't it?

RAuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulllllllllllllllllLLLLLLLLL

I hear it calling your NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmme 8-)

I wouldnt buy one.  I have two spinning reels - a stella 3000 for bass and stripers and a Stella 1000 for trout.  I don't think I'll ever need to buy another coffee grinder.
