& btw - no one is saying that you need to buy a Stella either
Personal budgets always come into play ....... but that said , I'v never seen a cheap reel go the distance & expecting a $25 reel to match it up with kingies time & time again is just nuts ...... specially putting out that much drag (supposedly) .......
A video means bugger all mate ...... specially when it isn't even the same reel
This is just like your battery charger...... except you wont be blowing as much coin.

All I can say is in your situation maybe look at someone like FishingRus in parramatta they have a lot of budget stuff that will hold up to what you want with warranty and at great prices , or keep an eye on Mo tackle they also do specials on stuff all the time . The stuff bought from Alibaba and the like are garbage at best , but of course you won’t understand that so carry on . Matt
Have a look on here it may help https://fishingrus.com.au/product-category/reels/
A bad days fishing has got to be better than any day at work......
Ironically, these reels look the same as the one I just got delivered as part of my members pack with Addict Fishing, except they have Addict Fishing written on them and it's a 3000. I'll interestingly pull it apart to see what the insides look like, but I'm thinking it'll be the same as my Sustains.

....... .....
Reel is not spectacular the quality of reel is about that of a ebay chinese reel, a bit loose on the tolerances, it may whitstand a kingy we will see
Trying to get the boat out next week hopefully get some winter salmon or a lone kingy and get this reel spinning
Back to the title ......
I could probably afford a Stella but lets see this..
Yeh I could understand the title if you went & bought a Certate instead ...... $600-$700 saving but still ended up with an awesome reel .
Be interested to hear how long it lasts .

For the cost of a days fishing it’s not worth the risk when a oversized $99 penn Spinfisher could do the job
also don’t like the idea of leaving fish with 50m of braid and a circle hook left in them all for a look at me reason on ausfish
Would one say Braid is more evil in this regard than Mono ??..

Gee Steve you exagerate a lot when was your last fish caught with 50 meters of line? I'll wait
again gary being a flog and ignoring the point, the fellas at the hull truth start ignoring you too ?
Guess you truely have run out of forums to shitpost on
focus on the statement if you can
"For the cost of a days fishing it’s not worth the risk when a oversized $99 penn Spinfisher could do the job"
"why even risk leaving a fish trailing braid of 1 -1000m"
most people cant afford stellas and you dont need a stella for this type of fishing, good luck to anyone that can
So u make a statement i call it out than u make out it was theretical now you turn it on me posting shit?
Come on Steve don't make shit up than i have nothing to reply to
