Will be grateful if someone can point us to the shimano agent in AU and we can try to import the gears.

thanks

Hi Dave, send Tim from Dunphy Sports an email.

This is where I get my Stellas serviced in Australia.

Jeff Larsen:
Personally I have not seen any difference between the two.

My friend bought a used stella SW10000PG and showed it to me.

I was quite surprised by the look of the reel as it does not looked like a JDM model at all in terms of the sW10000 spool does not have any PG stated and the line caps is stated in Lbs and not P.E.

I have not seen any JDM PG models and can someone with the JDM PG model confirm if the JDM spool for PG model should have the PG and the PE line stated for line caps?

The reel foot of the reel only States Shimano SW10000 and not Shimano SW10000PG. Is this the correct body?

We suspect that the seller puts his export model Stella SW10000 body and spool into the JDM Stella SW10000PG box with the JDM gray handle and sold it to my friend as the PG model.

Needed some insights and help to know if this is the case and how do we verify if the gear ration is indeed PG or the XG (which is the export SW10000 gear ratio)?

thanks for all the inputs and help

In the event that the reel is indeed the export SW10000 with the high gear ratio, does anyone know what are the parts number for the gears to convert it into a PG model and the costs of the gears?

have a good day

all you need to do is make one full revolution with the handle and count the revolutions made by the rotor.

Damian Fantozzi:
as for changing gears- PG is 4.8:1 and HG/ export 10000sw is 5.8:1, apparently a 20cm difference in retrieve.

I would only change gears if it was completely essential

Dave Hoo:
Hi,
The reason for changing gears to PG is that I wanted to use the reel for jigging.

I dont think the 5.8 gear ratio will be good to jig 250g jigs and I will end up wearing out the gears.

I still have my XG which I will use for popping n this extra set of gears can be a backup.

Emailed tim but no reply.. anyone know where else I can get my hands on the PG gears set?

thanks
