Paul

Darren, there is a review and pic in the review section here.
I'll just say they are the best reels I've ever had - and I've had them all over the years.

Darren, I've just realised you are talking about the new reels (Silly Billy!) and not the Emblems which is what I was referring to. My apologies.
I expect mine are in the post, (will chase Daiwa on Mon if they don't arrive!) and will post a review once I've put them through their paces.

Paul,,,are you flogging your old ones???

paul, it maybe somting you haven't tried specificly, but are the cheapy emblems any good, or do i spunk my hard earned on the shiney ones?how do they compare to the arelex's which have a terrible habit of the line getting caught behind the spool, is this such a problem with the diawa ones,
lofty

Lofty,
The Diawa Emblems including the base (£60) S models have sprung line guards on the rotor arms to prevent line entrapment behind the spool.
To easily and cheaply cure this probelm on your Aerlex`s, cut and shape two pieces of self adhesive velcro (from sewing shops)and stick them on your rotor arms,it`s the soft side you need and not the hook side.
I`ve had this fitted this to my GT6000 Power aeros for the past 4 seasons and it works a treat and hasn`t needed replacing as yet.

What are these new Shimano reels that cost 500 quid each, Stella F or something like that ??

Chris

I've heard they are called a Shimano Stargate Concept Stella F, and I quote "the Rolls Royce of fixed spool reels".

Anyone used 'em ??

Chris 'Essex Man' Woodrpow

Daiwa TS5000T - best reels you can buy.

Evrything else doesn't come close.

Its a pleasure to reel in !!!!!

Casts like a dream.
