PE8 capacity of 08 Stella 18000HG

<< < (2/2)

Jay Burgess:
PE ratings refer to a specific diameter not breaking strain (although I guess there are some minor variations between brands which is why they don't always fill to the same level). Most Japanese manufacturers follow the strict sizing of the PE system which makes filling spools much easier than with conventional lb ratings.

Just because a particular PE8 braid is rated to 100lb doesn't mean it should be called PE10. This simply means that they have created a much stronger braid for the same diameter compared to another manufacturer that makes 80lb PE8.

Fraser Simpson:
Guys,

For information - got the 18000HG today and it takes a full spool of 300m of PE8 (YGK ULTRA CASTMAN) PLUS approx 15 metres of 20lb mono backing which fills the spool perfectly.

LUKE - Any answer yet to Brandon's question on whether the carbon knob from the smaller 08 stellas will fit and survive on the 08 18000HG? I don't really like the Stellas original knob.

Hi Fraser,
