Basserman Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 even better when shimano australia releases the stadic MG later this year from all reports from overseas and those that have got their hands on one it will be a killer reel and one to make sure the stradic name lives on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davester28 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 The Firebloods look very similar to the Shimano Sephia which has been released in Japan for over a year now (although only in the 2500 size). They cost about $350 in Japan, but given they are to be priced between the Stella and Aspire, Shimano Australia will probably try and gouge you $600-700 a pop for them. Thanks, Mr Dunphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
