Five sizes are offered, all for serious saltwater anglers. Five sizes are offered, including one for the popular Butterfly jigging technique.
The Stella 20000SW is an Low-Speed Reel. This reel is a good choice for retrieving large swim baits, poopers and jigs. With one crank of the handle, the Stella 20000SW retirieves 41" of line! This reel has an amazing amount of cranking power thanks to it's Paladin Gear Enhancement.
Anglers spooling up with monofilament choose anywhere from 20-30lb test. The Stella 20000SW has an amazingly smooth drag system to stop some the of largest fish that swim.
For Jigging and Casting we reccomend you spool this reel with 65-80lb spectra braid.
This reel is also a great choice as a pitch bait rod for Marlin and other Bluewater Species. You have the ease of casting with a spinning reel, but the stopping power of a Big-Game Reel!
