Get both and add this into your mix....Cabin Creek Large Spider Parts.

Is that handle the aluminum one, from hedgehog? And who's knobs r those and where did u get them? Home grown , one of BR sponsors ..102 Swept with Cork Knobs.......Hawgtech: Home P.S. ....Mike and Robert are great to do business with.

How did you take it out.....

New cranking stick....Poison Glorious Cover Drive w/Antares HG

Done

In all reality having used a spinning reel chasing trout in the ultra light world and using bait casters in the world of chasing bass you end up mastering both. So to me it all comes down to which one you prefer and enjoy using because at the end of the day you will catch fish with either setup....

Take a look at the 2105 Aldebaran BFS HG Limited and the 2016 Aldebaran BFS HG....

Not sure I would go there , I saw on another site a dude had 5 of them and 2 are already coming apart at the seams....

Great way to start the season...congrats.

You should stick with the Metanium , that is what works for you , certainly would save you money and get you your gear ratio.

Yes it can, however it is April so lets hope it will be available any day now and then the festivities can begin.......

You would have thought he reeled up all the "Slack" with that 500......

The Calais DC7 is the same if you are not looking at the new model and can be had for a lot less than 750. However I am not convinced that you would have to pay that much even for the 2016 Antares DC.....

What would really be the hot ticket is a video of you hurling those two 4oz. jigs and at the same time manhandling that 500....hope that does not hurt your fragile ego....

That is one reel sweet combo,how about some Pic's......

NRX's will do that to you...Congrats.

You did a very good job gathering up the proper info.....

Nice fish.....

Purely the Antares / Calais DC 7 4x8 is at the top of my list giving you more flexibilty to adjust to conditions you face on the water and of course reaching out with your cast. One feature that is over looked on the 4x8 is its ability to read the wind something you will not find on the non 4X8 DC reels. Now I must say I have every version in the round and only the 4X8 in the low profile and as much as I enjoy my rounds the Low Profile 4X8 is the winner for me. In my opinion Shimano has kept their best DC technology for their flagship Antares/Calais and will continue to do so. Let me be clear I think they all have a place in your arsenal of reels but when you ask which is "The One" the Antares/Calais gets my vote....P.S. And I really love pitching with a NRX 802C with a CQ 50 DC mounted on it.

Now that works....

Sent you a PM......

In a nut shell the Japanese have a tendency to keep the best for themselves , if you compare a JDM model reel to a USA model you will see what I mean. Not to confuse you but there are reels coming over now that are the same (i.e.13 Shimano Antares). So to some regard you have to watch and see what will come over and what will not like the new Antares DC for example. The best thing you can do is google JDM Fishing and start to educate yourself and ask questions about things you do not understand. Believe me it can be a fun trip to take while you learn more about their approach to our shared sport of fishing . The other big thing to me is lures/baits of all kinds hard to soft , crank baits , topwater, bugs you get my point. Check them out and you will be amazed to see what is available . Color is a big thing to me as over the years I have found that JDM color schemes work best for me. And again they keep the best for themselves so have some fun checking it out and see if it is for you.

Congratulations ....Stella's are very sweet reels.
