Chuen Fan:
anyone knows wether the sw20000 spools will fit onto the sw10000's body?? have asked a few tackle shops, no one seems to be able to say a definate yes or no.. as most of them haven't got both the reels in stock.. so r they still like the fa series where the spools were interchangeable??? just ordered a 10000sw.. hoping to fit a little bit more line on the spool... any info greatly appreciated.

Andy Rowe:
18K and 20K spools can swap (same body size), 8K and 10K spools can swap (same body size)! So the concept has changed from the FA series.

You'll get 180m of PE8 on a 10K, approx. 210m PE7, it says on the spool 270 of PE6 haven't tried that yet.

Chuen Fan:
thanks andy, this will be the first shimano spinning reel i've bought.. thought of giving them a go, something different from the certates and saltigas.. hopefully will get at least 200m of pe7 on it.. going to pair it up with a carpenter coral viper or ripplefisher reversal.. haven't seen or played with the reel yet, so hoping that it'll sit on one of those rods nicely..

Brandon Khoo:
Andy - you're absolutely sure that the 8000 and 1000 are interchnageable in the new SW Stellas?
Are the 5000 and 600 interchangeable too?

Hi Brandon, I corresponded with 'Dude' on another forum regarding this 8000 to 10000 spool matter and he told me he had put SW10K spools onto his US SW8K. Though I don't have the SW8K so I can't be categorical. He indicated he liked the slightly slower retrieve of the US8K and was upping the line volume with the 10K spools!!

I don't know about the 5000 and 600, do you mean there is a 6k US SW version?.

Chuen Fan, I'll be testing my coral viper with a new SW10K next week also, Brandon has given the rod a good review too. I will also be popping the seal on my new ripple fisher GT Flex at the same time.

Good luck with it.
