hi gara,
what is the abs of the solid versus the hollow> i have read that the 60 jb hc has an abs of 90lbs more or less..
what about the jb 65lbs solid? does it have a higher abs thsn the jb hc 60lbs being a 65lbs breaking strain?
kindly enlighten me on this. thanking you in advance. am confused on which to buy. ;)

Hi William,

I don't use the hollow in JB only because I like the solid so much. So, unfortunately, I can't give you an answer. I have heard the average BS is higher in hollow.

Either way, both are very nice products that won't break the bank.

I personally think it is pointless getting too caught up on the ABS because what is more important is how it reacts under shock loads. A non-stressed ABS figure is quite frankly rather irrelevant

Title: Re: Jerry Brown Solid Spectra Has Now Arrived!
Post by: William Espina on May 24, 2011, 11:12:16 PM

hi brandon,
thanks for answering, so which do you think has the better shock load capacity? the hollow or the solid? 65lbs solid or the 60 hc?

cheers

Title: Re: Jerry Brown Solid Spectra Has Now Arrived!
Post by: Brandon Khoo on May 25, 2011, 05:02:42 AM

I only use the solid myself but I expect that the hollow would.

Brandon, Do you know how much JB Solid #80 and #100 fits on a Stella SW18K spool?

Title: Re: Jerry Brown Solid Spectra Has Now Arrived!
Post by: Christoffer Hansen on June 23, 2011, 05:03:51 PM

Hey guys,
               I would also like to know how much 100/130 fits on a 18k Stella spool?
Also how does the jb compare to Varivas casting and strength wise? Is 100lb actually more or true to what's stated? How do I order some?
         Cheers chris

18000 spool holds about 365 meters of  JB100 hollow ( 130 lb abs) .  at least mine do

Any one got any specks on how much JB solid fits on a 18k spool
In the 80 & 100 lb

Title: Re: Jerry Brown Solid Spectra Has Now Arrived!
Post by: Peter Olesen on June 24, 2011, 08:56:59 PM

@Patrick: How did you calculate that? That is a bit more than stated for other PE8 lines.

I only managed to spool around app. 230 meter og JB130 solid on my 18000 spool. I will only be training with this amount of line - not actually try to catch a GT with it  :D

Best regards,
Peter

Peter.. maby I did my post a bit unclear.. I have spooled up my sw18000 spool with 365 meters of JB 100 holllow that actually is around 120-130lb ABS (I did not spool my reel with 130 lb solid )  accourding to tests done by several ppl .. Paulus included

When it comes to spooling up JB hollow ( I have no experience with the solid),, you need to spool it up with about 7-10 kg of drag so you pack it real tight.
this is the spool capacity of stella spools if spooled up correct,,

courtesy of Basil Papas   ( these are real numbers of  spool capacity )

JB Holllow lines
SPOOL           LINE    YARDS

STELLA 6000   PE3   325
STELLA 6000   60   170      
STELLA 8000   PE4   325
STELLA 8000   60   225   
STELLA 10000   60   275
STELLA 10000   80   200
STELLA 10000FA  80      200      
STELLA 16000   60   350
STELLA 18000   60   450
STELLA 18000   80   325
STELLA 18000   100   400
STELLA 18000   PE8   325      
STELLA 20000   60   550
STELLA 20000   80   400
STELLA 20000   100   450
STELLA 20000M   60   625
STELLA 20000M   100   500
STELLA 20000PG   100   475

My own formula that I know is right ( as I spooled up my SOM 16000 spool with JB100 hollow ) is that you get aprox 82 % of JB 100 hollow on a spool compared with the amout of JB 60 hollow you get on it.

Example.
16000 spool holds 350 yd's of JB60
82% of 350=297 yd's=262 meters of JB100 hollow.

Hi all , can anyone tell me how much 100lb JB SOLID fits on a Stella 18k spool.
All posts seemed to have diverted to hollow
Cheers Jarrad

Does anyone use the 20# or 30# for light applications? If so how does it stand up comparred to the likes of Tuff Line or Power Pro. GT Popping or Jigging of course.

Title: Re: Jerry Brown Solid Spectra Has Now Arrived!
Post by: Peter Morris on July 19, 2011, 08:56:46 PM

I use the 20lb and 30lb bernard.

I use the 30lb for Landbased catsing  for Longtails and Mackeral.

I used to use Tuffline but JB is much nicer IMO.
Casts a little better and its a line I have real confidence in as it has never let me down and I have pushed it very hard at times muscling in some big Longtails away from sharks.

Its great line.

Vasko,

The JB is slightly thinner (slight but noticeable) and the feel is slightly soother.
They are subtle differences but they make the JB that little bit nicer.
