22 Stella FK… swap spools?

Post by ssbmg » Sat Feb 04, 2023 10:54 am

I bought a 22 Stella FK a couple months ago. The 2500HG version. Now I think I should have bought the 2500SHG version since I primarily cast 1/4 - 1/2oz lures. I’ve taken it out once (everything is frozen in CO) and was a little disappointed in the casting distance paired with a Steez 7’6” ML+

Will the shallower spool increase my casting distance on light braid (p.e. 0.8 - 1.0) with a 1/4oz lure?

Can I just buy the 2500SHG spool and swap it out?

Appreciate any assistance on this.

You can but as long as you're filling the line to the lip identically on both spools, I don't think it will make any difference to casting distance on a spinning reel.
