Is it worth it? $1000 Fishing Reel (First Impression of the Shimano Stella)

I just bought myself one of the most expensive fishing reels on the market, the SHIMANO STELLA. This fishing reel is the FERRARI of spinning reels, and the cost is in the same ballpark by comparison. I’m going to be taking you through my first impressions of the Shimano Stella 5000 sized spinning reel by taking it striped bass fishing in the Chesapeake Bay.

We are trying a new fishing method called trolling, where instead of continually casting over and over again, we drag our lures behind the boat and motor around covering water in search of fish. Trolling is one of many ways to test this reel, it is just what we happened to test first! I need more fishing time with this reel before i can give a full in depth review, this is my first impression! Stay tuned for an in depth review of this reel in a couple months!
