Super User Micro Posted October 22, 2008 Super User Posted October 22, 2008 You wouldn't be the first person to complain of a grinding Stella (or bail problems on Stratics). Just visit some saltwater or striper boards.

Bassnajr Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Hey, Why doesn't everyone take a DEEP breath...... We are all "brothers" in the pursuit of the beautiful BASS. I don't think that anyone would put up a post to get SLAMMED!!! One thing I have learned about this site is that folks are very protective and defensive of the gear they use. Let's think back to the first reel you caught that first bass on. It wasn't a Steez (probably) or a Curado. It came from K-Mart or Dick's, or Walmart.... get my point?? Did anyone every think that some "MANAGER" at these big chain stores came up with the great idea to sell returned reels over the internet to make more $$$ with the idea that people would just eat them as opposed to going through the PITA of sending them back??? Great deals are to be had on the internet, no doubt, but the advantage of seeing the product is gone. I'd still fish even if I had to use my Walmart Storm reel and Durango rod...I think we all would. PS Give the guy a break!!!!! OK Slam me know!!! ajr
