Those stats you have found
Those stats you have found I'm pretture sure it's a PE rating.. ie 15lb and 20lb are for PE1.5 and PE2 respectively. I am thinking of getting one to jig with PE2, was looking at filling it with PE2 (30lb).

Good to hear John, although a bit less is fine for most jigging. What rod are you running it on?

How long has this PE rating been about??
And it still confuses everyone, especially as line tecnology changes.
I have a 50lb line on my Stella 8000SW. So PE5 roughly as I understand, and I am going to stick with my understanding (times it by 10lb). But the true PE of the line I have on it is certainly only PE2-3, ie 20-30lb. PE is a line diameter rating, not a strenght rating and the 50lb on the stella is much thinner than the 50lb I have on the Saltiga 20 2s OH.
I know one thing, the braid on the Stella cost a wop more than the Finns on the Saltiga. How excited was I, I forgot the name of the braid when I spooled it. All I know now is it is colour coded jigging braid and not Varivas but about the same bling $$$ as Varivas. I wanted that on it but there was non up here and I wasnt going to wait to use it.
So from strenght I have 50lb on both. PE I have 5 on the OH and 2-3 on the Stella. Just imagine if you are new to fishing????

No, PE2 - 270m on the 4000PG.
If you'd like to use PE3 I'd suggest going with the 6000PG which has a capacity of 300m PE3.

Jay, the 4000pg is THE light
Jay, the 4000pg is THE light jig spin reel. Typical Stella smoothness and bombproof feel, but extra light and the carbon knob is simply sensational. I change the knob to the standard T handle for soft plastics, but recently got a Certate 2500 for PE1 soft plastics which is suitable for snapper etc in metro.
I took one crank of timvb's 4000 and had to have one. Tim has a 6000pg as well, which is a great PE3 reel but I have the oceajigger, not as good drag as the Stella but way more cranking power.
You won't be sorry with a 4000pg.

Rob got pe2 I reckon more fun
Rob got pe2 I reckon more fun haha. On my twinpower 5000 I run pe3 but from memory didn't get full 300 metres on. I think if you put pe3 on it won't matter though still will have plenty of line.
