I am looking at getting a set of Shimano Ultegra 14000 XTD's and I am wondering if anyone knows the line capacity when using the 3500 and the 10000 reducers please?

Big bump up on this one, looking to put braid on my spools and wonder if the 3500 is deep enough.

Will be using a .30mm braid

I have the power aero, using the 6000 reducer I can get about 275yds of 0.33 mono on each, which is for me, ideal. The 10,000 would be sub 190yds at a guess, and again at a guess, the 3500 would be 350+.

Has anyone had any recent success in finding where to buy the 6000 reducers from? None on eBay.

Yes, you're right. I tracked him down. He sells a model that holds 250m of 0.35 which he says is more like a 5000 model.

He's a true gentleman too as he's posting next day delivery, albeit at extra cost which I'm not bothered about. Better than a trip over to Bolton to pick up.

Below is a link

I think you have that the wrong way around...

The 3500 hold less. So maybe 160ish of 0.35.
The 6000 is in the middle, so 250 ish of 0.35.
The 10,000 is deeper, so about 350 of 0.35.

It tells you in the paper work, spools sizes and capacity with lb or diameter

I got mine for the XTE off EBAY, using Exocet Pro tapered in 15lb the 300m spool fits perfectly
Are you sure?
