Best place to get spooled for tuna?

[catfishonthelake]

Can anyone suggest the best shop to spool a Stella 18000SW? I can probably do it myself, but want it done with hollow core and spliced.

Maybe the reel seat?

X2. always have my offshore stuff spooled there and they always have Jinkai smoked in stock.

Another option would be solid braid. You can use regular braid and just tie a bimini twist then cats paw a wind-on setup. And gain a little line capacity. Tied correctly close to 100% breaking strength.

Using straight hollow core , if you main line happens to part for some reason, its little tough to thread in a new topshot with a needle and wax line at sea on a rocking boat.

Both setups would work just wanted to throw out that option.
