Will do!!! I love the Hayes tent sale every year!!! Great deals on some stuff.

I love my ShiWomano's. They just feel good in your hands!!! :-)

None taken. We all have our preferences and budgets!

There are lots of good ones. I've never had the Okumas and like the pfluegers myself but bought an Abu G tonight that I liked on a small pole for bream fishing and light crappie fishing when there's casting involved, then there's those pricier Shamano's and Diawa's which are pretty good. I really like the Pfluegar President series myself though.

anybody try the Inline ice type reels yet from Eagle? I bought an aluminum spooled rear reels setup and jig pole for my dipping rod...Gotta wait and see how I like the drag system yet though.... Real nice drag system it seems and 5 bearing type reel,,, smooth!

Nope haven't tried those. After reading the bickering over shimano vs phluegar reels I wanted to put in my 2€. Shimanos r good but more $ also. That Stella is over $100 reel if I remember correctly, good but too rich for me. I bought my dad a small spinning setup a couple years back from tackle box in ft smith and had to go with a shimano, it's as good as my phluegar reels but its no Stella it's a cheaper one. For the $ ill stick to my phluegar reels.

Better add a zero at the end of the price. The "cheap" stella's start about $700 and the one referenced earlier in the thread starts over $1000.

You can buy ALOT of "cheap" reels from grizzly and the like for the price of some of those. Although I have a few $300 shimano setups that I love dearly. But 700 to 1000...I can think of ALOT of other places that kind of money could go. But to each his own.
