Stella 14000XG Capacity.

(1/5) > >>

Brent Collo:
Hi guys,

I'm looking to spool my newly purchased Stella 14000XG with Varivas Casting PE8 braid, but would like to hear if anyone has some actual capacities with the same or similar line.
Originally, I was under the impression it had a similar capacity to an after market 16000spool, but now I'm not so sure.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Brent.

Trevor Skinner:
I got about 230 metres of Sasame PE8 on mine.

300 metres of PE6 Sunline Castaway Monster Battle.


Regards,



Trev

JoshEvans:
Hand winding PE8 off an Avet 50 for tension I got a whopping 200 yds on. Could get more with a proper winder but not a whole lot more. So I put the PE 8 back on the Avet and went with PE 6 instead (300 yds went on nicely). I'm told the 16000 spools hold 50 yds more but they seem to be sold out everywhere so can't vouch for that.

Brent Collo:
Thanks for the feed back. So I guess that Shimano's line capacity guide on the spool is close, I can live with 230 meters, should be enough.

Cheers, Brent.

Trevor Skinner:
Brent,

You have to bear in mind that with the odd wind knot etc that 230 metres gets reduced to 180 metres during a trip pretty quickly.

Regards,



Trev
