Title: SOM spool - gear question
Post by: Scott Cushman on February 25, 2011, 08:39:56 PM
Excuse my laziness for not trolling through the forum for the answer but why are ths studio ocean mark spools considered a valuable alternative to stella spools - only advantage I can see is buying a 16000 SOM for a 10000 Stella because it holds a little more line.

No Limits 08SW8000 Custom Spool  max drag 20kg PE 5 250meters $260 ebay

Stella 8000SW max drag 25kg PE 5 250 meters $185 ebay

Couldnt see any reason in the specs to warrant the extra $$$...

Can any one tell me why any one would buy a SOM over a stella spool? why the attraction (is it aesthetics?).
