Hey bud. I don't have a squid outfit as such, what I do use I believe will do the job. Pfleuger patriarch 7 ft stick with a daiwa sol 2508 and 10lb sunline pe. Has worked well for me when I've gone out for them and actually got some.

I'd like an 8 foot megabass caiyen and a 2506 certate.

Whilst I agree that its nice to have nice things I also think an exist is wasted on a squid outfit. Would much rather have a 2508 exist on a jew'n outfit.

Can't see why you need a reel that puts out 10kg of drag bit of an overkill

Drag is 7kg which is very standard for a reel of this size.

Nice and light and high speed but no specification for cm retrieved per crank.

Provided the retrieval is high enough this is pretty much the perfect squid reel.

the exist is going to be used for jews, salmon, squid, pinkies and..basically everything I DON'T need a 6k stella for

I am trying to buy a smaller reel for my spin/egi setups..it's either a smaller stella or exist..
