SHIMANO STELLA SW 2020 | Spooling SWC 5000XG.

[@Bigfish1day]

Great video, got a 6000HG, unfortunately my line will not lay properly, with or without shim. Had to take the spool holder off to get proper lay and I know that’s not right. Waiting on a reply from Shimano. At this point, not a happy camper. My Twin Power was flawless out the box.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah that doesn’t sound right mate. They’ll sort it out for you no doubt.

[@maasai-]

No heat sink for 8000 and under , still not a big deal , stella drag is so tough n durable even without it , nice review. African maasai

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Thanks mate. I appreciate it.

[@agusprastowo2375]

I love it ...... Simano Stella is the best

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

You know it mate.

[@tristanwood2512]

Got my Stella 5000xg 2020 last week. Can't wait to use it. Do you have a video going over ur Triamph?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Na not my boat mate. I actually own a Triton TR175 but it’s out of action and has been for a bit now. Hopefully up and running again soon enough.

[@craigullmann1110]

Keen to hear it sing in a vid soon!

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Hopefully no too far away mate.

[@brentlivingstone3732]

I live on the gold coast! Probably a long shot asking if you want to go for a flick one day? Ive seen you on my boat im sure a few times.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Yeah mate I’m not really one to say no and I like meeting new like minded fisherman so there’s always a possibility mate.

[@Len_M.]

I just bought a 4000xg, probably really overkill for Slough Sharks, Rainbow, etc, but it was a good deal.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Where abouts do you live mate? I figure rainbows are trout but I haven’t heard of those sharks before.

[@levilah3426]

Awesome video! Thinking bout getting this as my next spinning reel for long time use! What’s that black thing called~ you wrapped it on the lines spool at the end 🧵

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

It comes with the reel mate. No line keeper on high end reels so you get an elastic thing to do it.

[@thecoastlife2895]

Good video mate and awesome video

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Thanks mate.

[@willv4588]

I love new setups, but I hate spooling bigger spools

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

It’s gotta be done and I’d rather do it myself any day of the week. Make sure that shits perfect.

[@alleycat8483]

Hi Liam, just on reels, using 4 kg braid for bream and flathead flicking lures what would you choose between the stradic 1500 or a Diawa sol, I have 3 stradics and a sol, love them all but I kinda feel the line comes off the Sol better casting wise.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Up to you mate. They both would their own advantages. I like the internals of the former. They just seem to last.

[@DoomiePookie]

alleycat ive used both the sol and stradic and you’re right, the sol (and the freams) do cast very smoothly compared to the stradic, but my mag sealed daiwa reels have been in service more than once because of accidental water splash/penetration compared to my ci4 stradic which i have literally accidentally fully submerged it in salt water for over 30 seconds and its had zero issues. I also fully hose down my stradic after each use and its never had issues. I cant do this with the daiwas. Daiwa is smooth, Shimano more durable.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

That’s my opinion mate.

[@maasai-]

alleycat I don’t think daiwa would beat any shimano reel for casting with their better forward wide angle spool lip. African maasai

[@kennywee1190]

Yeah. Shimano Stella FTW, mate.

[@calummartin5351]

Hey mate I’m buying the 6000 model but can’t decide on the XG or the HG. I do a fair amount of shore jigging but also a bit of work with bibbed minnows and top water. Do you think the 6.2:1 with 112cm or the 5.7:1 with 103cm would be more preferable in my situation? Thanks.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

I think popping or jigging or even fishing plastics you want to pick up line quick. If you need to pick up line quick between pops or when a fish hit your jig on the glide or your plastic on the drop. If you can pick up line quick to set the hook it’s really advantageous mate.

[@calummartin5351]

appreciate the advice bro, thanks 🙏.

[@maasai-]

Calum Martin Take hg one ! Fast enough plus good torque, going xg is just too fast with min.torque which leave u paying extra precaution to ur reeling under load !

Hi Liam, can you recommend a youtube thumbnail editor? I like your thumb edits. Cheers man.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

I mainly use Adobe and a photo compressor app mate.

[@MongoDAoC]

Can't find that model, only the HGC model in the 5000 and 6000.. Unless I go down to the 4000 size.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Can’t find it where mate?

[@MongoDAoC]

Bassproshop, cabelas, online stores and can’t find a dealership near me in Long Island NY that has that model for sale.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Ricardo Concepcion Really? Not sure what’s going on there mate.

[@kailebchick89]

Hey mate, I’m thinking of buying a 2020 Stella 6000hg, I am thinking 40lb tasline and a grappler type c in pe 3. Would you have any suggestions when it comes to line strength or rod strength

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

A 6000 will run PE 3 or 4 I reckon. What kind of fishing will you be doing and where?

[@kailebchick89]

Liam Fitzpatrick I will be targeting multiple species of reef fish and other Pelagics, casting on reef flats/points. I’ve had some fun with a Stradic 5k on all these species but I’m going for an upgrade with a bit more strength as I’m worried about getting destroyed. I will also take the reel off the casting rod and put it on a Terez for bottom bashing.

[@wpxwater]

What line brand are you running on it? Thinking of getting the new 6000xg any recommendations for the line?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

I’ve spooled this one with Yamatoyo Jigging 8 PE 4 55lb but I just spooled the 8000PG with YGK PE 4 62lb which I’m pretty impressed with mate.

[@Uzi.69]

@@LiamFitzpatrick how many meters of pe4 can you fit in the 5000 spool mate?

[@ArcanineICU]

Hi Liam, thanks for the video. I would like to ask a favour - I don't know anything about fishing but want to purchase this reel for my dad as a gift. I saw him google 'Shimano Stella 4000' and '5000'; I found the SWC range models in 4000XG, 5000XG and HG after some searching myself. I've overheard in past conversations that he was eyeing the 4000FJ and saw a bloke about it last year, but just to admire from afar. I know he has a boat but also fishes from the pier at the beach, and found an online purchase for a Kastking Kodiak 2000 and 5000. I apologise if this doesn't narrow it down enough. What would you personally recommend I go with to be safe? Much appreciated.

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Stella is the upper echelon of reels mate. Pretty sure your old man deserves it.

[@iratherbefishing2358]

hi ! I just baught the new stella 2020 sw 6000 and the pinion gear is kinda lose just tiny tiny bit . Even with a locked drag and When you left up the spool . It goes up just little tiny bit. Is that for normal for stellas? Does your pinion gear on your stella move at all when you left it up also even a tiny bit?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

I don’t do technical mate. I don’t have an issue with the two I just received but when ever I think I gave a problem I getting to my reel tech to sort it for me. I know how to use the gear not put it together.

[@maasai-]

iratherbefishing That’s normal . Actually most reels do have such play when u left up the spool , i have 10000swc pg African maasai

[@jbfireworks2104]

Is the 4K and 5K big difference in size?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Kinda mate, but not really. I feel it is the where light and heavy start to separate though. So like 4000 down will be light sorta stuff and 5000 is the start of heavy ish if you know what I mean.

[@javiereduardojacome7299]

those who sell on aliexpres will they be original?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Where possible mate buy one from you local tackle shop. Support local and make sure you get a warranty just in case.

[@AsianAnglingAddict]

Where can I buy one? Can’t find this model anywhere

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Stocks of everything this past year have been hit and miss, I’m not sure who’s got stock or where mate.

[@AsianAnglingAddict]

@@LiamFitzpatrick I was able to get a hold of the 6000XG. I wasn’t happy because one of the bail arm has some play. Does your has the same issue? Do you know if it affects its performance? Thanks!

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

Na that’s how they are dude I’ve felt it with mine. Maybe it might need tightening but it will be a special tool so don’t try jam something in there.

[@haidarbinasri3498]

Is it true that the c5000 has the body of a 4000? Only the spool is a 5000?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

I know that’s the case with the 2500 and 3000 in some models but don’t think that’s so with the Stella mate.

[@enterthedragon5979]

Mate Pe4 how many metres did you put on

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

To be honest mate I transferred it from another reel and it wasn’t as much as I thought it was.

[@justlivinit75]

how much tho

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

A G and a bit mate.

[@mazenjaber5383]

how much pe 3 line did it hold?

[@LiamFitzpatrick]

I transferred it from my old Stella 5000 mate. Didn’t actually take not or remember really. I remember putting some PE 4 on the old one and I had line left over from a 300m spool so PE 300m would probably fill it perfectly.

[@mazenjaber5383]

Ok thank you!

Yeah it’s an odd in between size in my opinion mate. I’d run a 18000 for popping any day of the week mate.

Lads, sorry but I just don't follow. I have the 5k & 14k with the aim of having compact reels with high drag. The 14 has 350m of ~100lb braid which is good for everything bar monsters in a static position
