New Stella

 Well well. I have just heard that after a mere 5 years the SW Stella 20000 is being replaced with a new model plus a 30000 as well in 2013. Very interesting.

Thought this post would have been jumped on immediately - surprising.

Mods - and details/rumours?

I heard the same thing a couple of months ago. Popping/Jigging with a 30K? I'll stick with a 18K or 10K for popping and 20K for jigging.

I posted on Shimano's FB wall asking the question. Will post the answer if they reply.

I saw the thread on the jignpop forum and Alan Hawk looks like he has confirmed it.

It's been verified a lot earlier than that  8)

As to the specifics, you will just have to wait.

Here is what Shimano said word for word:

Unfortunately we do not know what Japan is working on and currently there is no news of a new Stella to be replaced.

Roughly translated, i would appear that the rumour is being denied.

Quoting Alan Hawk... "Early 2013 a new freshwater Shimano Stella is to be released if all goes according to plan, and this one will come with a major design decision that should prove controversial. That freshwater Stella will be the basis for the next generation Stella SW which should follow in about 2 years."

If this is correct the 30000 will likely be a larger spool version of the existing SW?

Something in between a 10k and 18k I thought would have made good sense, perhaps a 14 or 16K that would have the ability to hold 300m of PE8!! :)
