Shimano Stella vs Vanquish (vs Daiwa Exist) - 1 Year Reel Review

A review is not a review until you've actually...used the gear. One year seems like the appropriate testing period for this pair of reels. The Stella and Vanquish sits atop Shimano's lineup of spinners, and they are almost polar opposites in terms of design philosophy. Daiwa's flagship Exist is also considered in this video.
