Rod to match Stella 10000??
Aerospace:
I have only heard good things about it, and very glad to have taken the plunge. I have been browsing the web a bit, and like the look of the Zenaq, what will be more suited to shore and boat casting, the 7"6 model, or the 8'3, bearing in mind the line will be 50-80lbs?
Andy Rowe:
Simon,
I'll be very keen to hear how your combo works out as I've also just purchased a zenaq 80-3 tuna casting rod and can't wait to try it out on.
Luke, I have been waiting to see what the cross compatibility is between the new stella's spools and 10, 18 and 20k bodies, is there any as in the previous models?? if this has already been discussed here maybe a link then.
Thanks
Andy
Brandon Khoo:
Andy, ther can be no way the new 08 10000 can be compatible with the 18000 or 20000. The reels are of a different size in the first place.
Andy Rowe:
Thanks Brandon, I should of made the question clearer, it was more aimed at the 18 and 20k models, it is getting a bit academic now anyway.
Bottom line for me is that the 10k looks like a nice light 6-8 PE reel at 625gm, significantly lighter than the Z6000GT 815gm I have set-up for this same welter-weight popping purpose. Anyone want to buy a brand new Z600GT :P.

Simon, the Zenaq FC 83-5 seems very popular in the US and would suit the new reel and is rated PE 5-7,I looked at one last Xmas and was very impressed.I have the FC 83-7 and have no problem casting and working from a boat and it is great casting from the shore, with its moderate fast taper it can work stickbaits and poppers to about 150gms with a moderate size cup.
