Capacity of Stella 10000FA for Tuffline XP
Simon Thomas:
Thanks for the reply guys. I think I'll stick with the 80lb for the casting distance and capacity. I just have to hope that any big nasties I hook are nice to me......
What do you guys do with the 100 yards or so of line that is left over from a 300 yard spool? It seems such a waste, but I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable having a joining knot on a spool of braid.
Also Brandon is it just the 100lb in white that feels waxy or would the 80lb be the same (I assume this would be the case)? Also is the brighter line better for visibility of the angler? I imagine the fish wouldn't be too concerned about visibiility of the line.
Thanks guys.
Simon

Do be careful of the 'ping' factor in the 80lb - unfortunately, braided lines don't cope too well with high levels of shock. Many great fish have and will continue to be caught on this line class but it is something to keep in mind if you plan to go bull of the gates.
I would keep the remaining braid for other uses such as nail knots/whippings etc. It is rather short so there's not much else you can do with it.
The brighter line is great for visibility for the angler AND for the SKIPPER! You won't have a problem using a bright line for GTs and most beasts.

You could go for the 600 yard spool then when you get smoked there is plenty for a re-spool :D
Greg Burt:
One of the guides at Marion gave me a spool with 80lb Tuffline on it when I asked for 100lb outfit for jigging, he said it breaks well above the 100lb mark.
