I have the okuma safina pro spining reel. It said 10 pound and 180 yard. If I buy the 10 pound line here will it work?

Big Game line is very strong and used by lots of people that fish in Florida.

Yes, I believe it will. I use much heavier line for salt water fishing and I really like the trilene by Berkley.

yes, but if u use reel for fresh water suggest stren or trilene line. these lines are better suited for fresh water usage

It is heavier than an ultra light reel. Just need to see if it balances well with the rod your using.

Hi. Sadly NO! I tried to get one through a local tackle dealer and from a relative in the states but neither of them could come up with the goods so I carry a spare reel. I haven't tried Okuma direct.

Very soft tip on this thing. I wouldn't go over 1 1/4 oz. I used 1 oz cast masters no problem with a wright and McGill 2500 saltwater reel and 20 pound Seaguar Kanzen braid.......casts a mile.

Yes on the 50w okuma solterra you can fit 710 yards of 50lb mono, 600 yards of 60lb mono and 420 yards of 80lb mono do you would have no problem spooling that it would be cheaper to go with monofilament. This reel is a very large reel with a high line capacity

Well if that fine seemingly "cheepo" Diawi DF100A Spinnng Reel was connected to a good quality fishing rod like a 6 or 7 ft boat rod too a 10' too 15' Shakespear Ugly Stick or an Amazon sold Okuma Fishing Rod I suspect one could catch and maybe land a 60LBS Shark!

You bet. I use this reel on my 8 wt salmon fly rod and its great for salmon up to 15 # in heavy current. Idid find the smaller Okuma not adequate for 30# plus king salmon in heavy current. I did not get to test this larger reel on these big kings but think it might be up to the challenge. Since reels suitable can easily cost $300 plus. This reel is a bargain.

Yes, you can. I routinely use 80 lb line on mine with a 6/0 reel. This is a stout little rod, but a 14/0 reel is a lot of iron to mount on it. I don't know what you're trying to catch, but I would consider a heavier Okiaya rod for just a few dollars more if you need such a large reel.

The reel is for 7-9 wt line. I don't know specifically how much it weighs, but final weight will depend a lot on the line and backing you use. I do know that with an 150 ft of dacron backing and a sink-tip line, it is light enough to move the balance point of the rod forward somewhat compared to my son's metal reel.

Unless you are fishing boulder fields or in a place where a big fish is going to pull you down into the rocks/shells, I wouldn't be afraid to go with 30lb Power Pro. I'd also put 20 yards of mono line for backing on the reel before putting the power pro. This saves braided line and prevents the braid from spinning on the reel base and impacting your drag system. Good luck!

Landing the fish is only 50% of the equipment, the other 50% is the fisherman. The real is able to hande a 50 pound fish, depends on how good a fisherman you are. This is the second reel I purchased, it was for my brothers birthday, the first one was for me and both of us are loyalist when it comes to saltwater fishing. Yes it is a great buy and thanks for reminding me, I've got to get another one, you can never have too many of these reels.

My son bought the reel and he says it works great. He uses it with 10 pound test freshwater bass fishing all the time.

I own two trio 40's. They are relatively small for size 40 reels. A size 30 or even a 20 though would be better for 8lb line.

I recommend the 3/4 line weight Cahill Crystal River reel....they are about 10$ here on Amazon. GREAT, light, reel

200 yards of 10lb test line. This is not real large of a reel. It's good for bass, large catfish, stripers, drum, blues and spanish mackeral. It could also be used for surf fishing or pier fishing. If your catching fish from 5 to 12 lbs this is perfect size. But buy a better reel like the Penn Pursuit 4000.

Don't know. I placed braded line on both reels, but drags were defective. Not two pounds of drag.

SORRY, DO NOT KNOW. Go on line at Okuma site and look up the size reel you want. It should tell.
