Super User jimmyjoe Posted May 22, 2019 Super User Posted May 22, 2019 I wonder whether the bail hits the lip of the spool at full extension on this one too. Mmmm? jj Quote

I looked up the price of a Stella; I don't think there's any danger of me buying one of the defective ones. 1 Quote
TBAG Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 Looks nice, wonder when we'll see them in the states? Quote

Super User WRB Posted May 22, 2019 Super User Posted May 22, 2019 Daiwa TD SS 1600 Long Cast is still being made after 30 years and has a tapered long spool. I know several local pro's who still use them. I put mine away after buying my son his (white) Stratic. Tom Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted May 22, 2019 Super User Posted May 22, 2019 I'm looking forward to the deals on the FK series ? 1 Quote
