Spare spool recommendations
Peter Childs:
Guy.
I think the overall diamter of the 20000 max spool is slightly larger than the 20000 regular (in addition to a slightly smaller arbor size) at least where the line can spool up to anyway. The laws of physics dictate that the applicable drag at this increased circcumference will be less - assuming the capcity of the drag stack on the centre line of the spool is not upgraded in any way.
For the same reason, you can apply more maximum drag to a Stella 8000SW than a 10,000SW or a 12000SW.
Mark Harris:
Whoops, sorry Guy, I did mis-read that :-[.
In light of that, Pete's explanation is spot on. It will be the same drag stack I am sure with less drag put down due to the increased capacity.
Guy Durham:
Peter,
I agree with your analysis. Admittedly, I hadn't considered a notable increase in OD due to the limited dimensions withIn the rotor. I was giving more consideration to the wall thickness on the arbour that would be created Blythe available space between the spool and the shaft.
That said, drag capacity & component quality are probably my driving criteria as I'll probably load the spare spool with 50lb for light popping and bottom bashing on the reef. The smaller line diameter will give me plenty of line capacity on any spool for this reel.
Andy Rowe:
Guy, if you are going for the 20k max spool you are going to have a big arm after putting nearly a kilometer of 50lb line on that bad boy ;).

LOL... that would be some first run ;)
