Quality braid?

Hi guys,

Couple of questions here, so thanks in advance for any help.

I am looking at getting a 5000SW Stella to match my PE3 Xzoga for demersal jigging, etc.  I am thinking of spooling the 5000 with Varivas Big One PE3 but am wondering where the best place to get the braid is?  I prefer to get the Stella locally, but am not bothered about where the braid comes from.  Also, if i go with the reel and braid above, am i naive to think i could match it with a different rod to cast for spangos, trevally, etc up north?

I am also looking at a Stella 20000SW for sambo jigging and general bigger stuff and am wondering what good braid i should spool this with?  Again, if i go a 20000SW, will the reel and braid be appropriate for GT popping and some deeper bottom bashing?  I don't want to spend a bucket load of money to have a single purpose reel.

Cheers,

Alex

i hear saltiga boat braid is ok, some one on this site can probably help you out with finding some, as for using the reels for other types of fishing of course you can, stella 20000 would be one expensive bottom bashing reel though.
