For those of you who are having problem trying to figure out how much American braid can you fill onto a SW20000PG, well I just managed to squeeze 500yds of white 65lb Power Pro onto my reel One spool one fill... swee swee

Oh that much... no wonder many kakis using the 20K model for jigging, popping, bottom & trolling all in 1 reel.

After loaded with line, it's weight about 1kg right? Do you feel tiring when using it for jigging? I haven't try on any saltiga or stella yet, so just curious and ask...

Hi Mikey,

Did you soak the braided into water prior of loading into the reel?

Cheers,
Edy

Octo- No idea how heavy... will weigh my reel if I find a scale @ home

Yeah you can do whatever you like with the SW20000PG as long as it holds enough line for your purpose.

Edy- Yeah I had to soak the line in water prior to loading. PP is kind of stiff when new so its difficult to compact on your reel. Much better when wet :P
