Kelvin 2,200 Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 You can get anything printed on a reel in China These are the same as almost all the other silver sub $50 reels and likely from the same OEM factories with just minor cosmetic changes. One of the clues is the Daiwa air rotor style design.

Instant anti-reverse, reasonable smoothness but probably 50g or more heavier than the same sized Shimano and Daiwa. I've got 4 and am buying more.

gregtech 1,029 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Love the reviews Color:SW5000 Series К***ч Good, I like it, the hinges are not off, the move is good, it's light after use. And who is there says that we are collective farmers, so he himself was a collective farmer once, he thought that he was the original Shimano, for three they will give him. The coil is actually (behind the 2,600) good. Yep, sounds legit to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just like you need with a lot of wading fishing. Only a few dollarsat risk. However as I mostly repetitively lure cast these days that extra 50 - 100 grams is a killer for my R.S.I.

Selling them for $30 is one thing, still bad but at least you get reasonable value, ripping people off like that who likely don't know better is plain low, scumbags the lot of them.

That is clearly illegally "passing off" under the Trade Practices Act. Shimano would certainly not cheapen their Stella brand by licensing this production or sales. That store is treading on thin ice. Wert 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
