rod to suit...

I just picked up a Stella PG20000SW with a spare spool BUT I don't have a rod to put it on....except a T-curve kingmac spin rod.... I forgot just how heavy and big these reels are....so now I am not even sure If I want to keep it?????

What rods do you fellas run yours on???

 

cheers

sorry ..not sure what to use it for....I just got it because it was a good deal.... bit big for all our fish in the NT I think.... too much reel for sails ect..not GTs to pop for...

 

Wish I would have seen the 4000 stella come up before I got this one...

Mate - plenty of stuff up

Mate - plenty of stuff up there I would have thought. I prefer the likes of the torsa but certainly the stella with 10kg mono makes a great reel for sailies. I thought you guys got a good run of small to middling black marlin each year as well??
