I've been using the 20k spool for a while now exclusively with PE10 & PE12. If your casting technique is up to scratch you should have no problem with casting with the 20k spool. Obviously, the 10k spool feels better and is a purpose distance casting spool the 20k still works and that's what matters. I have also used both Varivas & Tufline in PE12 (130lb) and have had no dramas with line capacity when it comes to GTs.
David & Rudy are masters at handling and manouvering the boat when popping for GTs (amongst others) - don't worry, you are definately in good hands.

Thanks for the advise Luke. Will try "dry" casting with the 20k spool and see how it feels.

I don't think the neighbours would be too worried as I was only gonna use a 200g stickbait and debarbed trebles on my dry run! :-*

Chris, if you are intending to go down to the local padang to test it out, I suggest you remove any hooks you have on the lures. I unfortunately found out many years ago doing this that dogs like chasing things you cast around..........
I was within an inch of getting into a fight with the owner who was well, somewhat unhappy. The only thing that saved me was that the friend who I was teaching to cast was about 120kg.
