| Hi Everyone, I'm looking at a stella 14k to be used for topwater GT, YFT and kingfish. I want to know if anyone has measured how much PE8 braid they have been able to fit on the reel, shimano website says 330yds of 60lb power pro while other people claim 420m of 60lb. I am yet to find anyone that has loaded one with PE8/80lb any help would be much appreciated. |

Just an update if anyone else has the same question in the future: Spooled both a 14k and 20k Stella today. Both were spooled wet and super tight so shouldn't compact much over time. Stella 14k = 270+/-m of PE8 Tasline Elite Hollow Braid Stella 20k = 450m of PE8 Tasline Elite Hollow Braid 14k took 300m but was slightly overfull so stripped off approx. 30m to have 1-2mm spool lip. 20k Is full. Would be fine for jigging but would have to strip a little bit off for casting. Massive thanks to the boys at yeehaa for spooling the reels.
