@Patrick: How did you calculate that? That is a bit more than stated for other PE8 lines.
I only managed to spool around app. 230 meter og JB130 solid on my 18000 spool. I will only be training with this amount of line - not actually try to catch a GT with it
Best regards,
Peter
Hey guys,
I would also like to know how much 100/130 fits on a 18k Stella spool?
Also how does the jb compare to Varivas casting and strength wise? Is 100lb actually more or true to what's stated? How do I order some?
Cheers chris
18000 spool holds about 365 meters of JB100 hollow ( 130 lb abs) . at least mine do
Peter.. maby I did my post a bit unclear.. I have spooled up my sw18000 spool with 365 meters of JB 100 holllow that actually is around 120-130lb ABS (I did not spool my reel with 130 lb solid ) accourding to tests done by several ppl .. Paulus included
When it comes to spooling up JB hollow ( I have no experience with the solid),, you need to spool it up with about 7-10 kg of drag so you pack it real tight.
this is the spool capacity of stella spools if spooled up correct,,

My own formula that I know is right ( as I spooled up my SOM 16000 spool with JB100 hollow ) is that you get aprox 82 % of JB 100 hollow on a spool compared with the amout of JB 60 hollow you get on it.
Example.
16000 spool holds 350 yd's of JB60
82% of 350=297 yd's=262 meters of JB100 hollow.
