I need another spinning rod to join my sjr723c IMX, and I've been eyeing the new Fuego spinning rods since receiving my Zillion rods.  I wasn't looking at them before I got my Zillions, but the blank and just general rod performance of my Zillions has me feeling the Fuego will be verbatim (basically just the spinning version of the Zillion).  Pairing the Fuego rod with the new Fuego reel would be sweet, but $280 for the new Fuego?!  It's just high enough to keep me from buying it I think.  I have a TD Advantage spinning reel I love, albeit it is a little heavy.  The lighter weight would be nice, but d**n that is expensive.  I was just wondering if anyone else is considering the new Fuego.  

Saw it at TT 's Icast coverage, my take ? the reel lost it 's essence, instead of being a Fuego it 's now a silver reel with red accents.

I have the all red Fuego and it's worth every penny and more.  It's the best spinning reel I have ever owned or used, but I haven't fished a Stella yet.  

Buy one and see how you like it... you don't have to buy everything in bulk!  ....lol

I think that 's gonna be a liil bit difficult with him.

Seeing that picture, i think i might have to consider it  

Why the 30.00 price hike ?

Check out the new sustain its a sweet reel as well....

The price is a little too much for me.

Looks pretty sweet though.

i still like the sol ....
