aliali Posted Monday at 22:17 Report Posted Monday at 22:17 Hi all, please can i have some guidance. I have Shimano 14000 XTD XR reels. Ive bought some Berkley CM90 line (0.34 diameter). Should i use the 6000 or 10000 spacers? Trying to get circa 300m of line on each spool. Any help would be really appreciated! Quote
Carpbell3 Posted Tuesday at 07:28 Report Posted Tuesday at 07:28 I just use cheap line to fill the spool up, wool works really well. I try to count the handle turns call it a yard per turn or there abouts. Quote

Google says These reducers are used to reduce the line capacity of a larger Shimano reel (like the 14000) to a smaller size, such as 6000. How they work: They are designed to clip onto the spool and reduce the line capacity to the Shimano stated 6000 capacity. Reels they fit: The Shimano 6000 spool reducer fits reels like the Aero Technium Magnesium 14000 XTC/XSC, Power Aero 14000 XTB/XSB, and Ultegra CI4 Plus 14000 XTC/XSC/XTB/XSB. Other sizes: Shimano also offers spool reducers in 10000 and 3500 sizes. Line capacity: The 6000 reducer will allow you to spool a 6000 capacity, which is typically around 300 yards of 10lb line. Examples: You can get about 275 yards of 0.33 mono line on a 6000 reducer. Some users have successfully spooled 250 yards of 0.40 mono line with the 6000 reducer. With a 6000 reducer, you can spool 190m of 0.40mm line without any backing. I did t know how they worked but it now makes sense you can find the line capacity of a 6000 reel or 10000 reel to see what they hold and that’s close enough from the look of it Edited Tuesday at 12:44 by framey Quote
framey Posted Tuesday at 12:50 Report Posted Tuesday at 12:50 (edited) Even better the tackle box line test says they measured cm90 at 0.33 not the stated 0.40 Edited Tuesday at 12:50 by framey Quote
aliali Posted Tuesday at 19:36 Author Report Posted Tuesday at 19:36 Super, thanks all. Really appreciated. Will go for the 6000 reducer and see how we go Quote
