respooling a stella 20k?????

[Byron Ford]

hi guys i just ordered some jerry brown 100lb 600y braid to respool my stella 20k an was woundering if 600y will fit perfect or i will need to put 50m of backing, cause i know when i respooled it a few months back it took about 600m i think, an from what a mate told me its best to have your reel pretty spot on insted of 50m short for better casting???

i would think it would fill it easy,no backing needed.

Byron, the 20000 spool isn't that big! If you got the whole spool on, I'd suggest to you that you had PE5. You'll get from 350-400 yards of the 100lb on, depending how tight you spool it.

Agree with Brandon.. Just done my 18000 with JB hollow 100lb wound on tight fitted 285y according to the counter so 400 give or take sounds about right for 20000

If no backing, do you use tape etc to line the spool arbor to prevent slippage?

Do most people not use backing when spooling a SOM NL spool?

No, I don't use backing at all.

Juz to sidetrack abit. Will the 20k spool be able to take 300m of either Varivas Avani Gt pe10 or JB solid 130lbs?
Thanks alot!
