I was using my oldest Shimano Stella at the weekend for wrasse fishing and it was as trouble free as ever.

Shimano Stella 3000 FE
My Shimano Stella 3000 FE has seen quite a few years of action. It’s been absolutely solid. In addition to its durability, the stand-out feature is its drag. Really, really smooth with very little start-up time and therefore perfect for light line applications.
Shimano Soare CI4+ 500S
When I travelled to Osaka, Japan in 2018 I wanted a ‘souvenir’ that reminded me of the trip. This is it – the super small Shimano Soare CI4+ 500S!
Shimano Soare CI4+ C2000 SSPG Custom
During my time in Japan, I gained the opinion that the Shimano Soare CI4 C2000 was a bit of a staple among Japanese Light Game anglers. The kind of reel that every other is judged against.
Shimano Stella 18 JDM
2018 is a new Stella year – yay! The latest iteration of the Shimano Stella sees the spinning reel benchmark brought right up to date once again.

Seen in Fishing 1Ban tackle shop, North Osaka. Already fallen in love. Tiny, tiny, tiny, Shimano Soare CI4 500S, pimped with Thirty34Four’s dope Zerogra III double handle and Balancer.

Shimano Soare Tidey
Whether I was fishing the latest must-have Japanese rockfishing tecnique, or just posh float fishing, I don’t know. But I really enjoyed fishing a small estuary system yesterday with the hope of a flounder or mullet. Instead this little bass obliged. I’d like to try it again.
