Title: Starting out 80 pound reel
Post by: Troy Burbidge on May 13, 2013, 09:20:26 PM

What's the thought on the Stella 14000SW as a 80 pound popping reel? I haven't done a lot of popping and thought it would be a good start, thanks Troy

I guess that was shimanos idea behind the introduction of that size.  ;)

Thanks Felix, had read the specs and it looks like the upper end of its scale, from the specs on the net I thought it may be optimum at 50- 60 pound, will order and give it a go I suppose, cheers
