JB Line One Hollow: 100lb or 130lb?

[Dan Wulf]

http://www.360tuna.com/forum/f3/80-jb-hollow-stronger-than-100-jb-hollow-15232/). I can see that the majority of users in this forum use 130lb. Are there any obvious reasons for me not to opt for JB 100lb?

I would appreciate comments and suggestions!

Best wishes,

Hi Dan

My first reaction is that your would not be able to get enough of either JB Hollow 100 or 130 onto a SW10000 spool? Or are you using a larger after-market spool on the 10000?

Anyone tried this and have the metreage?

The Ocean No limits 16000 spool holds 275 m JB 100 (  this is what I got when spooling it full).. so around 250m for less chance of wind knots.

General rule ( my formula is that you can get approx 80-82% JB 100 compared to the amount of JB 60 on a spool )
Stella SW 10000 spool holds 250 m JB 60 ( if spooled correct ).. so that makes  around 200 meters JB 100

What are you fishing for Dan...BFT?

[Mark Harris]

200 metres of JB 100lbs hollow onto a SW10000 sounds like quite a bit too much to me. 

If that is really possible then it's enough for GT fishing and I was wrong .

I appreciate all your comments! Thanks!

Hi Patrick
I have considered buying a SOM 16000, but I assumed that the extra capacity as compared to standard spool would be less than 50 m. But a difference of apx 275 m (SOM) as compared to 200 m (standard) makes a difference. I will probably pick up a SOM when I pass by Bangkok next time - shipping, VAT, other taxes etc. makes it quite costly to order one from Denmark.

Dan, I think you will find a lot of fans of the SOM No Limits 16000 spool. Fantastic add on for a Stella or Twinpower 10000.

Dan as I said in my post I got ( or my friend who works at a tackle shop ) 275meters ( 300 yards ) spooling up with heavy palming the JB 100 spool with a  glove, on the No limits 16000 spool.. but I'm ripping of aprox 25 meters for less chance of wind knots

I'd say the 10000 spool would fit 180m JB100 for casting ( 200 if used only for jigging )

[Dan Wulf]

Patrick, thanks for the clarification!

I will go for the JB 100lb and probably later upgrade with a SOM 16000 in order to obtain the extra capacity. The 10000 is used for popping only.

Ha en bra jul och helg!
