I find the 10000 a great comination with the TBL711. I think it would also be excellent with either of the Coral Viper models.

Luke makes a good point though, I probably would go to an 18000 for 150g+ poppers

Thanks for all the brilliant info!
Am I right in saying, if I get the 10000SW, the only larger spools I could get are the ...
1. Yumeya 10000D or 16000D
2. 16000 No Limits spool from Studio Ocean Mark

Anyone got any clues as where to get these?
I see samuraitackle.com has the Yumeya 10000D for $262, the site, www.studio-oceanmark.com is in Japanese so I can't see if they have stock & price.

You will find that the Yumeya spools do not fit the SW10K 08 model. On the FA older SW's only. No one can get a hold of the No Limits spool at the moment as their produced only very limited numbers last production run. The only spare spools at the moment are just the normal Stella spools, the Yumeya 12000 SW spool or normal SOM spools, which are basically the same as the original.

Sunny has pretty much summed it up.

Studio Ocean Mark do make another 16000 spool outside of the No Limits spool but it doesn't have anything like the same drag.

I have not heard of a Yumeya 12000 spool for the 08 10000SW Stella though.

It has the same specs as the original spool. Can be fitted to a SW Twinpower as well. I got excited when told of it, then gave up when I was told it had the same specs.

I think the spool you are referring to is actually a Twinpower spool - but it does fit the Stella.

How much more does the No limits 16000 spool take then the standard spool-(50/405yards)

Say for example 50lb tuf line? (standard spool 50/405yards)

acknowledged - you're certainly right on this but something about the details of the spools don't make sense. Considering Shimano claim 23kg for the standard 10000 spool, why does a Yumeya spool only generate 14kg?  Also, why the same capacity?


Just did a quick search, definately a Stella spool

thanks for this, Mick
I'll point out this is not the No Limits spools but the other spool from SOM I was referring to.

The claims of 23kg of drag are bullsh!t if you ask me. You have to basically have to fish it locked all the time to get any decent drag out of it. The 14kg drag seems more on the ball for the normal spool. 

It had me scratching my head about why market a spool with exactly the same specs as the original as well (apart from the max drag setting), me thinks Shimano/Yumeya are just trying to market a more 'bling' spool to slap a bit more GT tax on.

But the price on it is pretty lineball to a standard 10000 spool!
