Christoffer Hansen:
Sell your som spools Andy. Help with the purchase of the new Stella and really a som spool on a 14k Stella is pointless!

Andy Rowe:
If indeed the new 14,000 reel turns out to be more capable for GT than the existing 10,000 then it's a winner for me, but we'll have to wait for April or later following testing. The backwards compatability of spools still seems to be in debate??, Christoffer, if in fact compatible then the extra 50m of PE8 afforded by the 16,000 SOM is a no brainer for me in GT applications.

Mark Harris:
I was surprised to read the 14000 PE8 capacity being as low as 200 metres. You can get 200 metres of PE8 on the existing 12000.

Andy Rowe:
Good point Mark,

As stated you get 300m of PE6 on the 14k, using the 'line capacity' calculator program the result for PE8 is 220m!!

 :P

Trevor Skinner:
Gents,

I must admit that I'm not going to fall over myself to run out and buy the new model. The old one does sterling service for me and since my 'go to'line is PE8, and I don't particularly like aftermarket spools, the old model 18000 is fantastic. In fact, I may look for another one if there's a run out sale.

If the 14000 was a PE8 machine and held at least 250m maybe, but until I want to fish PE6 I think I'll leave it on the shelf.

Regards,


Trevor
