Agree with homebouys post. But good sized yellowfin are tough fish might not run as long but will seriously test 24 kg nylon on a equivalent game reel 50 size. So yeah pe 4 will do job sometimes but haven't had experience on big yfin but seen few on nylon. Depends what your gunning for, but in my humble opinion a 50 kg plus yellowfin is a far harder proposition than your average 80 -90 kg strippees. Should you be lucky enuf to hook a 50 kg yfin of course but hey are there.]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2016 22:11:36 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118458&PID=1647015&title=saragosasaltigatalica-question-wait-what#1647015 <![CDATA[saragosa-saltiga-talica question, wait, what? : if you were to get a large jm...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118458&PID=1646931&title=saragosasaltigatalica-question-wait-what#1646931 Author: home bouy

if you were to get a large jm (pe7 pe8) then that will cover your jigging livebaiting and trolling. there has been guys catch marlin on pe 4 so a reel twice the size will easy handle a yellow fin. ]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2016 08:13:45 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118458&PID=1646931&title=saragosasaltigatalica-question-wait-what#1646931 <![CDATA[saragosa-saltiga-talica question, wait, what? : Thanks guys all good insight,...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118458&PID=1646907&title=saragosasaltigatalica-question-wait-what#1646907 Author: Big_Red

Thanks guys all good insight, the 16000jm spool sounds like an interesting addition and probably a nice size for a couple of applications. keep it coming!]]> Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:27:19 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118458&PID=1646907&title=saragosasaltigatalica-question-wait-what#1646907 <![CDATA[saragosa-saltiga-talica question, wait, what? : 10 000 size i should have add....]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118458&PID=1646904&title=saragosasaltigatalica-question-wait-what#1646904 Author: ET487

Get a Shimano Twin Power PG with a JM16000 spool. Use the standard spool for jigging and the JM16000 spool with 60lb braid for top water and trolling/ live baiting.
I sold all my heavy trolling gear and use the above reel with a Saltiga spin jig rod for trolling and swap to a popper rod when the need arise.
So light and easy to use in a small boat or even a big one for that matter.

Sort of odd request and quite challenging when you throw in trolling at end, as hard enugh to go between top water and jigging.
I've run over last few years as a knock about spin reel an opus bull 4500 on diawa monster mesh pe 5-7 spin jig rod. Has done well and is similar size to your stella 10k and diawa 5k reels mentioned. Has accounted for kings over 20 kg and I do troll with it mainly skippy lures, have not had a marlin on it but capacity would be main concern there running as much pe 5 as can put on it just in case. My top water reel of choice is shimano 10k sustain, also proven on 20 kg plus kings but probably again not capacity for marlin or large tuna
Yellowfin in larger sizes are very tough fish.
So if looking at spin and jigging and bit of trolling or live baiting in mind I'd maybe go for larger on one of the spin reels in at least one of your purchases, and lighter 10k size pe 5 on the other.
Talica would be choice if doing more trolling and live-baiting but then i love jigging with spin and versality of having same reel or as a back up for topwater.]]> Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:55:23 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118458&PID=1646901&title=saragosasaltigatalica-question-wait-what#1646901 <![CDATA[saragosa-saltiga-talica question, wait, what? : Sweetas more choice ]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118458&PID=1646815&title=saragosasaltigatalica-question-wait-what#1646815 Author: PE Pete

Nope :) That's a different kettle of fish entirely, pitched to compete directly with the Stella and Saltiga. I think they'll be a $1xxx reel.
 
The Metaloid is a middle of the range reel, will be available in a 55, 65 and a 90. I don't know what these correspond to in Shimano sizes but I dare say the 90 will be a big *******, 20000-ish kind of size.
 
From what I know so far they're a full metal reel and have a big honking drag and should be around the mid $300's to $400, aiming quite squarely at the Saragosa.

Yes very, I will end up with one of each eventually and wgat I failed to add was if I go the saltiga path I'll just have to accept its not the most ideal for the troll until I pick up something else. A lot of good press about on the saragosa, I guess I'm just fishing for an excuse not to pay 1200 for one reel before taking the hit!]]> Tue, 26 Jul 2016 07:56:17 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=118458&PID=1646794&title=saragosasaltigatalica-question-wait-what#1646794
