    WTK: Spool cpty of braids on Stella 8K

    Hi all,
    would like to know, what's the capacity if I load PE5 onto the spool of the Stella 8K. Would like to know if there's any discrepency from the stated line capacity on the spool.

    I am planning to load those colored Jigging lines as I am intending to do some serious jigging with the reel (Jig weight between 260g to 450g).

    So far, my choice has been either the YGK Jigman 8X or the Vivaras 8X jigging line. But I also am incline to load either PowerPro or Pline, because apparently both PowerPro and Pline is substantially smaller in diameter.

    I am looking to load at least 300m.

    Any advice. comments?

    I would reckon braids like PowerPro, Pline, Berkley Big Game Braid and Tufline XP are a little thinner than the Japanese PE. You can squeeze about 300m of PE4 onto the 8000 but maybe slightly more 50lb Tufline/Pline.
