SW20000PG for popping
Zeck Lim:
I am one of the rare few who prefers a slower speed reel. Even for popping. Difference tho is that I am right handed but use the right hand to crank as well. I just crank faster. :)
In fact - I used the new 5500h but could not quite get used to the speed. At least for a few hours. Got the hang of it only after then.
Prefer a slow speed reel!
Courtland Babcock:
I find it much easier to adjust to a slower speed reel than a high speed reel. Sometimes it is hard to reel slow(with a high speed reel) and get the right cadence, especially for jigging. If I were stuck with 1 reel it would be a slower speed reel. I can always reel faster.
Case in point, I have a Van Staal 275 which is very slow gearing. It makes it on every trip with me and gets used quite a bit for jigging, popping and stickbaits. My Saltigas with 5.7:1 gears stay on my casting setups. Except the 3500/4000 which have small enough spools to be used for jigging even with the high gear ratio.

Hi Zeck,
Long time no see or hear from you. ;D
Same as u, I'm one of the few who crank using right hand...hahahaha
Preparing for a big trip and has 2 x 08 Stella SW20000PG in hand now. So looking to get another 1 or 2 new Stella and thus contemplating on whether to get a HG or PG. ;D
Thanks guys for sharing your experiences.
