Hi Guys, I'm a new member so it is taking me a bit of time to navigate how all this works.
My age and being computer iliterate dose not help, but anyway I'll have a go.

Recently I made the decision to buy a Shimano Stella 10000 reel match up with a deep jig TCurve 200 spin rod.

I stumbled around on the web and came accross an Australian supplier that had the combo at about $1100.00 or there abouts. Unfortunatly I did not save the site to my favorites, and can not find the site agian after much time spent.

Can any one HELP me with a good supplier on the East Coast

Thanks GB

Is there an easy way to change my name to nick name, feel a bit silly being the only full namer!

Thanks for all the help
Have purchased from M o tackle
Stella 10000FA, Tcurve jig 200 and TufLine 50lb briad
Stella 2500FA, Tcurve Tournament spin 661 and Fireline "Crystal" 10lb
now just need the fishes co-opperation!
Thanks agian to all:D

I think i would be looking a bit further into the Stella purchase, there seems to be a few who have had some problems with them, and for the price I think you should be up in the "Rolls Royce" class, but it does not seem to be so, I know a there is a thousand "One eyed Shimano Fans" out there getting ready to strangle me for dareing to taint their beloved brand, but facts are facts!

Graham, Mo tackle have the combos for $1099, I recommend the Stella 20000 and T-curve 400 if you are going to be seriously jigging [you don't want the fast speed for jigging], or the 10000 if going with the Bluewater spin.

Please Noelm give me some 'facts' on Stella problems as you must know them, because I don't, and have never had any with mine.
I'm a open minded Shimano fan who also owns some good daiwas.

OH, I had one, the anti reverse stuffed up after about 2 weeks (no problem, things can break) the knob on the handle fell off (no problem, got one under warranty) then it started to get all sort of rough and tight and I sold it, have heard first hand from people I know who also had some problems with them, there was never a problem with repairs but I reckon for the price, they should give little trouble, I am back to my old Spinfishers agin, still going after more than 15 years, but they are heavy!
