stella sw5000 spool question

(1/3) > >>

Dan Colebrook:
hey guys, does studio ocean mark make a spool  for extra line capacity on the SW5000? wanting to fill a SW5000 with PE3 and want around 250-300m on it. got a bad feeling it wont fit on the standard spool? pretty sure ill get that amount of PE2 tho. what line do you have on your own SW5000 and how many meters did ya get?
cheers. Dan

Brandon Khoo:
if you want a spool of that size dan, you will need to try to find yourself a 6000 spool. the problem is it is a JDM only product

Damian Fantozzi:
you can get a full 300m of saltiga surf 30lb onto the 5000 spool and have room to spare, id say enough for another 50m at least, i didn't use backing but i will next time. I also got or 180m approx of 50lb fins which i removed. its a real dilemma because of the ferocious drag (for its size) of 29lbs. I think the saltiga 30lb is really a PE1.5 or maybe PE2.

My plan is to keep the 30lb on the 5000 spool for plastics fishing for snapper, rat kings and jewfish and even SB tuna, and then later on get a 6000 spool and load it with PE4 for light stick bait work on a saltiga 80TN for Kings, where more drag is required.

Brandon Khoo:
The 5000SW spool takes 230m of PE3.

Dan Colebrook:
thanks for the quick answers guys. mite put some sufix 832 30lb on the sw5000 as i have the 20lb on a 4000FE and really like it. hope SOM make a spool for the sw5000 at some stage  :)
