Stella 5000 with 6000 spool

(1/4) > >>

Anton Haakman:
Hello Gents

I have a stella 5000 sw. It is a great little reel but I would like to speed it up a little as I use it with fast straight running lures. My question is with regards the 6000 spool that fits on the 5000. Is the outer diameter of the 6k spool greater than the outer diameter of the 5k spool thus increasing the line retrieve per crank of ge handle. Or is the increased capacity of this spool due to the decrease in size of the inner diameter of the spool?

Hope this makes sense

Anton

Brandon Khoo:
Anton, I would suggest that whatever difference there is, if any, would be so marginal that it isn't going to make much difference,

Rob Langridge:
Anton the Stella 5000 is what you would class as a high speed reel with a gear ratio of 6.2 that's 102cm per crank on retrieve. If you want to speed up the retrieve you will just have to wind faster. For a reel of this size 5000 you ain't going to get any better.

Cheers Rob.

My understand is that as the gears of the reel are inside the reel body a aftermarket 6000  PG or HG spool is not going to make the reel faster or slower?
