Which stella model for jigging

CaptEddie

Which model number is the one designed for jigging. Trying to help a friend out and I couldnt remember which one it was. Hes getting an 8000.

It depends on the type of fish. Big tuna you see down your way I would suggest the 10000 or 20000. The 20000 has lower gear ration which helps on big fish. The 10000 is a higher gear and has less line capacity but you can buy and install a 20000 spool

Mostly for all around jigging for bf for chum etc. Tuna over 50 rarely hit a jig over here and its generally not worth the time to jig for em. My friend likes small reels and I know the 8000 is an impressive reel I justdont know if we want the pg of the sw or something else.

one of them is made in america, and one in Japan. you want the one thats made here so Shimano can warranty the work.

Hey Capt!

The SW model is the Japanese model, the FA is the one in the U.S.

The PG is lower geared compared to the HG.

I have the SW8000 PG that doubles throwing topwater and jigging for me, diff. spool for each.

The Japan model comes with extra spool, 3 different handles and factory grease and oil. Anglers-proshop will get them serviced. The power gear is equally good for jigging and popping. Jigging with pg on spinner is no problem, the longer rod actually is less work compared to conventional. you can not go wrong with stella.

Captain Eddie,

When I bought my 20,000 and 8,000, I chose the PG s to get the extra spools and handles and went ahead and took the risk on warranty service. I am told by fairly good folks that the parts all bolt up with U.S. models so if you are willing to pay, you can get them fixed (although that is just heresay.)

I have the 8000FA and it works great for everthing from catching bait to throwing topwaters. The 10,000 and 20,000 are to big and heavy IMO. If you are mostly going to be catching BFT for chum and chunks then I would highly recommend the 8000FA and if you get a wild hair, it makes catching big AJs and Yellows alot of fun.
