New spools reqd for Stella SW10000

<< < (2/2)

Tony Tsai:
Hi Jarrad,

The SOM 16000 spool has comes in regular version.  It's cheaper as it's w/o the bling.  Capacity is same.

This spool offers the highest capacity of the 3 listed above.

Tony, have you tried the SOM regular spool ("non-No Limits" version) on a serious fish?  The (Teflon?) drag is very average indeed and hard to recommend for that reason I think.

The SOM No Limits spools are scary expensive, but top notch quality. The difference is way more than the bling factor - completely different drag system.

Hi Mark,

No, I have not tried the SOM regular spool for the 10K.  I have the No Limit one on my 10KXG and am very happy with it.  Didn't know the drag system was completely different between the regular and NL.... tks for that.

I did have a regular one for my SW10000HG before and thought it performed fine.  Fished in Maldives twice w/ it, but no GTs bigger than 16kg on it.

Tony
