Adding bearings to a Certate LT doesn't make it the same as the Exist LT, not at all. The Stella FJ is a great reel indeed, but the Exist LT is the clear winner in my hands. I sold my Stellas when I got my first Exist LT and I have been a loyal Stella user for many, many years. Anyone getting the flagship Daiwa or Shimano is going to get a quality product regardless, we all have what feels right to us.

Agree with Gary. The Exist in my opinion is superior to the Stella. I do not like the thin bail wire on the Shimanos and I have owned a stella . I would take a Certate over a Stella any day. Certate just feels super powerful and flawless . The Exist has no competition!

If I buy a Exist and its not SIMPLY AMAZING I'm gonna be pretty bummed.
I do love my stella and certate.
It is simply amazing.
Any potential Exist LT customers keep one thing in mind about when and where you buy your Exist LT. ONLY the US version has a LIFETIME WARRANTY, free lifetime cleaning/service plan, and expedited return shipping when purchased new from an authorized Daiwa USA dealer. Bryan is the reel tech at The Tackle Trap and is one of only a handful of Exist LT certified Daiwa techs in the US should anything happen to the reel, or just when it needs a cleaning and service. Check out all the details of this incredible reel directly at the Daiwa website linked below. It goes into detail about what is without a doubt the BEST warranty/service plan on any reel in the world.

I'd be looking for the reel that best balances the rod on my index finger when fishing the rod/reel.
