Shimano Stella's - anyone using them ?

Awaiting delivery of a shimano stella 2500DH for this seasons lure fishing.

Also considering a 5000/6000 size to pair up with my new Ian Golds Enticer for some bass fishing in the surf.

Anybody using them, any opinions?

use them a lot of the time so do most people who travel from Europe to fish with me - and they continue to use them all over the world - two good customers of mine below

Thanks Jim,

great photos in those 1st bunch of links, but I couldnt translate the narrative

So your saying they are a highly regarded reel anyway.

Chanced my arm with a good quality 2nd hand reel, the amount of lure fishing I do wouldnt warranty spending €600+ on a reel

highly regarded but im afraid as you say highly priced too -
