That's a good deal.

That's a cracking good deal.
I still have my old blue JDM Stella 20000 and very often choose to fish with it ahead of my new SW20000.
$500 is a great offer.
Ricky Lim:
Didnt mention on my last post. The Stella is a PG model(the spool is silver not gold).
Also come with avani big one pe6 400m with some backing.
Spare t-bar handle.

The reason being I have spooled one up with 100lb tuffline and the line lay really ribbed up. ie, Very pronounced valleys & peaks rather than smooth flat. I dont think it was lacking a base washer as it was straight rather than than /\ shaped. Could be the line diameter of the braid perhaps, but it was the worst I've seen.
I haven't used a Saragosa, I know guys with the 8000 size for jigging Sydney and they go ok. The Sphero's is another option, which can be upgraded with drag, bearing and stella handle. I have one, and the line lay is fine.

I have used the Saragosa 18,000 extensively and found the same line lay problem. When I see it getting the pronounced valleys & peaks I usually run the line out the back of the boat at trolling speed with a lure on it. Let it run out until the valleys and peaks are gone the just wind it in with out any rod movement. This usually takes care of it.
I did find the stock drags a bit wanting after six months of heavy use so I replaced them with Smooth Drag carbontex drag washers and they work like a charm.
