Ragman - I can't measure the diameter of Varivas PE8 with a micrometer, it keeps getting squashed flat(ish). No diameter on the spool either.
Dunno about Shimano/Diawa reel comparisions, cus I just dont see any big Stellas.
JackStraw - I'm deeeeeeeeep jiggin, so 3 spools are required, well 2 1/2 anyways.
I've got 1200metres of PE5 on order so that should do it eh?
Got to fill 2 x 6500Exp's now, so I'll post how much I have remaining when its done.
Yes - don't worry, I've filled way too many reels with spectra/dyneema (I started with Cabela's Ripcord in late '70s) and follow the advice of the real spectra expert, John Rowe (ex Izorline).
When you've hand cranked 1500metres of 135lb onto a pair of 130's you really find out how good your winding technique is - believe me!
Just had a spare 6500 Exp spool delivered and its marked 400m PE8 on the box but 300 of PE6 on the spool, hows that for a #&"$## up!
