Stella 18000SW will a 20000SW spool fit?

[Luke G]

Anyone know?

Yes it will fit you will gain 38m more line for around $250 not worth it mate

It fits alright, worth it if you want a spare ready loaded spool for Jigging or popping, two different line classes or one for mono one for braid

Anyone had any problems with the SW series?

I pick my 18000SW up in a few weeks. The 18000 is more for the popping and the 20000 for the jigging. The faster retrieval rate on the 18 makes it easier to pop. Who cares about the extra 40m of line. If you have lost that much your probably gone!

My 18000SW had a 15min swim at Bugatti Reef in May, the Techo [private] who striped it down said in his report that not one drop of water had got inside the reel.
My 4yo 10000FA had a strange noise while popping, it had earlier landed a couple of 25+kg GTs on heavy drag so I put it aside, I sent it to Dunphys and they fixed a loose counter balance in the rotor and had it back in one week. That was the 1st Stella I have had any problem with.
I jigged NZ at Xmas with a 20000SW and found it was an improvement on the 20000FA which I thought would be hard to beat, the less weight and extra smoothness make it a dream machine;
