Shimano Stella spools - does size matter?

[goodoo1000]

Any advice welcome ... Looking to buy a second spool for my Stella FD 4000 & am wondering would a 5000 spool fit? Extra line is the appeal and given I understand that the a 3000 spool fits on a 2500 body I was hoping it works the same.

Don't think so mate, the 5000 on are the sw model so I'm certain it's a completely different reel.
Hope someone chimes in to back me up?

I am also of the belief that it won't fit.

I was thinking the same thing

Then I purchased a 4000fe and 5000sw, both of which were fine, but then along came my new 4000sw, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Consider it if its an option for you

thanks for that fellas ... Nags, is the 4000SW a larger capacity spool than the 4000FE?
