Well fellas to conclude this thread have gone with the 10K got the last one from FCO Alany. Good price too thanks to AJ & Marcus. Booking made with Epic for October but can't wait that long will have to blood the two new Stella's before then.
Cheers to guys above for their input much appreciated.

However be aware that the Stella 10000 2008 models have an auto bail arm(this can be removed) where the Saltiga's don't.
I personally prefer the Saltiga's over the Stella's however this is personal preference as is all fishing gear there is no better reel/ rod.
 
Answer to your question Stella 10000 is more than sufficient no need for a 18000 unless you want to chase Big GT's or Big Tuna!
You selling all your stuff anesh? what you up to bro?LOL....new gear perhaps?

Thanks there laidback starting to think the 10 is the way to go. BUT seeing others talk about land based efforts has got me thinking it's a form of fishing I enjoy but only fished lbg for snapper. Either way might make the effort this season to throw a few land based popers around.
Chheeeers again fellas.

I got an 18K since I mostly use it land based and wanted the bigger reel for stopping the kingfish taking my expensive lures to decorate the rocky reefs. Sometimes wish I had the lighter 10K as casting with the heavier reel for hours takes its toll, but you do get used to it. For boat fishing only for kings I'd get the 10K]]> Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:55:56 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=93884&PID=1344587&title=stella-sw-18k-or-10k#1344587 <![CDATA[Stella sw 18K or 10K : I have one of each, theres a reasonable...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=93884&PID=1344569&title=stella-sw-18k-or-10k#1344569 Author: Titahi

I have one of each, theres a reasonable difference in size between the two reels.

The 10000 being physically smaller is easier to throw around for long periods of time, I reckon I am also more  accurate with it in terms of targeting where  lures land.

The 18000 being heavier I find is less accurate, it however has better capacity, and  bigger drag surface area. Not much it wont stop......
