I use a piece of bamboo with some mono. Also catches fish. I’ll save the 50.00 for the hoes.

Took my brand new Battle II 5000 for a spin yesterday for the very first time and I hooked a 20lb yellowtail using a Ugly Stik X2 (medium hard) rod kzread.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . This combo was recommended on some website and it did not disappoint me. The reel is smooth, the drag click is pretty cool cause i think it adds to the excitement of fighting the fish, personally the drag is my favorite part. I use braid and 300 yards will fill the entire spool. This combo is my main setup from now on although I have to disclose I am new to fishing.

Saw the older models on clearance on basspro because of the newer ones that came out and ended up pulling the trigger on the newest 2020 model 5k. No regrets and already put some GTs on it. Never had such a smooth fight with a fish. The smoothness and the platinum service that comes with the reel is what makes it the legendary reel that it is.

There is no way that you could convince me that a reel is worth $1000. I would be afraid to use it in case something would happen to it.

Which model did you get SWB or SWC one?

I am now soon 54 years old and have fished for as long as I can remember, and maybe even longer than that, as I have seen photos of me holding fishing rods at the age of 3. I have fished a lot of different kinds of fish, with lots of different methods and in many different places in the world. Both salt water and sweet water. There are not many times I see the point of having a Stella and where a much cheaper reel can't do the job as well as a Stella. Yes, it is suuuuuper nice to use and you get the high end luxury feeling, but if you don't have tons of money to spend on fishing gear, you should ask yourself what else you can buy for that kind of money instead. In most cases, would it be much better to invest the money in some high end top quality fishing rods. You will in most cases get much more fishing fun and fishing results by spending more on your rod and less on your reel. Where a Stella really shines and might be worth the money, is when you need a very powerful break that works as it should, no matter the beating it gets from a very strong and/or fast fish. Like when fishing for Marlin. Specially when you happen to hook a much larger/stronger fish than you thought you would. That is when a cheaper reel can let you down and be the reason for why you lose the fish.

Brotha congrats on that beautiful reel...you're dad is right...and you know the Stella is half finesse half power house...i give you respect...but if I was you...use that beast of a reel to it's full potential. It costs what it is to catch beasts with a 7/0 hook wire leader. If you say its a Ferrari of a reel...drive it at high RPMs and feel that power fighting bigger fish. I did the same fighting that 40" Tarpon on my Stadic FL 4000 and caught it with ease. So I hope the next video to see some muscle baby! Treat it nice but enjoy it as well! Thanks for that catch and cook...love those types of videos. There's nothing like that drag screaming fun my man!

Ive been bingewatching your videos lately I love your channel keep up the good work! Congrats on the reel I'd love to own one one day :)

Cool vid, Ill be interested to see your longer term take. Also, if you sear the shrimp, deglaze, and dump at the last minute, they have a way better texture.

I take care of my reels like you do your Stella with my penn battle 2 that cost like 90 bucks. Wash it thoroughly after each use near sand or saltwater and keep it in a good place.

Wait till you tried the Daiwa Saltiga, these are big game saltwater reels.... Super strong aluminium alloy body, stainless steel machine cut spool, precision machine cut gears, ball bearings in every moving parts, Titanium bale arm. The maintenance is necessary due to the number of ball bearings in moving parts that is subjected to saltwater corrosion, especially the ball bearing line guide at the bale arm....

I have one great hobby/starting to guide, and if I had my way all my spinnies would be Stella. I run slammer for big stradic med sm, and Diawa coastal tws for casting inshore/bass and avet sxj raptor 6/4s trolling and jigging.

The Stella is a 5 star reel in my mind but the price is off and for $500 you can buy a twin power or a van staal that is also a 5 star reel

Personally... there's no way I'd spend that kind of money on a reel unless I became a millionaire ! When you were trawling I was thinking how gutting it would be if a massive fish whipped the lot out of the rod rest and away !! That aside... WOAH.... That fish gumbo at the end has made my mouth water. That looks absolutely delicious !

Mmmm... The tri-hook? I thought you where against using that type of hook.

Guys calm down. This channel is only a part of this guy's legitimate business! He can probably write it off during tax season as well as the recording gear among other things. Good for you getting the best reel money can buy but I'd be terrified to loose it to be honest. I have about a 150 dollar Penn Spinfisher V that will probably last me a lifetime and that's just fine. It's a novelty like a first class plain ticket or a front row concert. Life is short. Treat yourself every once in a while

if you want to buy that reel with confidence and not be stressed about it. Get the reel, and all your other products insured with State Farm: Personal Articles Policy. Provide a receipt and get it covered. It even covers theft!

You want believe it,I have a Penn 2500 and 3000 for about all fresh water fishing. Add a 4000 and 6000 ,handle it all.The 6000 would handle a lot of slot fish.Its the penn pursuit lll,with with a HT-100 drag system.This is the best bang for your buck.

I won't spend $250 on a reel no matter how good it is. Is your single catch fish worth that much ? Unless you go deep water for a prize tuna. I tried two cheap multiplier reels on huge monster stingray of more than 50kg. It survive the punishments and so do the rods nothing mechanical broke. Only the line snap after half hour fights. I thought it will destroy those free reels that I got from giveaways. Now I'm impressed !

There’s this guy in Spain who has been uploading fishing videos for almost 10 years now. All he ever uses are Stellas, 2000, 4000 and 5000. He has never, ever changed them and other than basic maintenance, they keep on going. And get this: He bought them at a used tackle shop in Japan! So those are probably 15+ year old reels! That’s how good Stellas are.

What’s the difference?

You know... I was at 1st like: “$1,000 dollars for a reel! Hell Naw!” But then I thought... if someone LOVES Fishing ALOT and they want this reel... who am I to deter them from getting this reel for their passion. And after going to Cabela’s and FEELING one of Shimano’s smaller $100 reels I was like: “-Damn this is engineered good!” Then I thought: “If this is one of the nicer reels out of all these 20+ small reels Cabela’s had to let you test... I wonder how that Stella is?” So I watched a good handful of the Shimano Stella engineering videos on KZread and I must say... it is a Fine reel! Sure you can get others like the PENN Slammer III and others that do the job VERY WELL for LESS MONEY! But if this is the kind of smooth, strong, refinement in engineering you want for the higher price tag... I would say study and research other reels in comparison to this Shimano Stella and see how they compare in terms of metals, materials, what reels have better durability, strength and engineering in them to make them the price point they are and perform the way they do. THEN make Good sound judgement on the one / ones YOU WANT. 😁👍✅ I actually want the Shimano Stella now in the 20,000 size (mostly because of how they engineered the gearing ⚙️ and other components, the 100lb braid line rating and that 62lbs drag, I need to test one) and a couple PENN Slammer III’s (I like the all metal body, tough, very durable and cranking power reels, powerful drag system as well 30lb all the way up to 60 lbs and alot of line capacity, but shimano offers the higher line rating, you could just put heavier line on the PENN if you really wanted to though, and I love PENN as a Brand)

It shouldn't matter if it is a 1000 or a 50 dollar reel. You take care of it and keep it clean and serviced and it will serve you well for a long time. All my reels get cleaned after use and I have some Penn reels and some Daiwa reels that are just as good as my brand new Kast King and Penn reels.

When trolling a spoon type lure on a spinning reel you should use a ball bearing swivel vs the clip. The spoon is gonna wobble and twist while trolling on just a clip causing uneven line lay wraps. This causes uneven pressure on the spool which can wear out spinning reel parts . Stella's are built extremely well but its an unnecessary risk to take. Second set up a spray bottle with reel cleaner and just give a spray or two and wipe down vs excessive cleaning. You can overkill your reel with love cleaning it to much removing important reel grease. A Shimano neoprene spin reel cover for about $12.00 is a great option as well so you can leave the reel on the rod and not stress about protection. Gumbo looks great, real brown roux cooked properly makes serious gumbo well done!

If I had more time to fish, I might consider getting one. Right now, I would spend the money to get a couple of Stradic CIs and Chronarchs with some customer rods. That gumbo looked delicious. I have to try making some with snake and rockfish.

only set back is that shimano stops supporting/servicing reels 5 years after they discontinue their products,,,so now the 2019 stella's have discontinued the 2014 stellas, and previous users have until 2024 to fix their reels and after that, they become obsolete....such a huge investment. you expect these reels to outlive you, like the van staals...but no. I regret SO MUCH for buying them. sigh...should've bought the van staals as a life long investment.

Beautiful reel, I just have my Zebco. Subbed

Like the video and obviously the reel but people should know the rod is where the majority of your investment should go. 70% of budget($$) on rod 30% on the reel. Awesome reel none the less

That's is one heck of a rod. Very nice. After watching your vids I'm thinking of getting a Shimano. I use mostly Penn now. What's a medium price range saltwater Shimano reel that you would recommend? Love your vids. #keepreelinemin

I have a couple of Stella reels, my first, a Stella 4000, is 14 years old now and still running like new, I invested in a 14000 for pelagic fishing a few years ago without hesitation due to the quality and service my smaller one has given me.

Wow.wow. wow. This is so exciting, so I had to watch for less than 4 min.

Instead of rocks, go crabbing next week ? Wait til after dark, no bait, just a bright light, and go for the big jimmies ! If you do wish to go ‘chicken necking’, you can use said parts, or spot for bait during the day. To cook, toss live crabs into a steamer pot, with equal parts water and vinegar, roughly 3/4” deep to make steam... dust them liberally with old bay and cover - start a 20 min timer once they stop scratching, and remove from heat @ the 20 min mark.

Lost a Stella and an Avet on brand new custom carbon rods off the back of my jet ski last year. Heartbreaking lol.

The stella and saltiga are essential for hardcore anglers here in the mediterranean who do shore jigging. You should try shore jigging on some species where you are at.

Hey man! Have you tried Daiwa BG 4500? Daiwa BG 4500 reel is comparable to SHIMANO STELLA, but Daiwa BG is even better when it comes to specs. Yeah, you spent a lot of money on an expensive reel, you'll constantly worry about it. Daiwa BG, it's about $100 something and that reel is built like a tank and super smooth as well.
