I use 4lb test on my #20 reel, 10 & 15 lb test line is too large for this reel.

I have used it with braided line and it worked fine using 6 lbs. I just didn't need all the strength for what I fish for. With 10 lbs flora carbon I caught a 42" northern with this reel with no issues at all.

Yes, you can use 10lb test on it and land some big fish with it. I caught 3 20-21 inch large mouth bass last year. It was quite a fight for every one of them but the pole handled it very well. I was very pleased with the performance. Make sure your pole sections are seated tightly as they can sometimes get loose but I haven't had that happen but once. Good luck and Happy fishing!

I use 14 - 17 lb test based on the rod and the target fish. ie steelhead or king salmon.

Good choice on the reel for the species your are fishing. You can spool it with the 12lb test Spider Wire which has the diameter of 8lb test. You will not be sacrificing yardage at all which the smaller diameter line. 30s is a great reel, my favorite size for fishing the Florida Flats is the 3000 series reels. Enjoy!!!

I have 20 lb test line on reel but could have increased that...also rod is one piece and I believe more sturdy than two....the skill is with the handler...my goal is striped bass...must be minimum 28 inches and I use it as a saltwater surf rod so it should handle over 25 lbs

Use the slv 7/8 reel. The wieght of the reel needs to be in balance with the wieght of the rod to make casting and handling the rod and reel more truer and m or effieicnet. That goes for the wieght of the line too. If you're concerned aboput amount of line or strength, add a little more backing for lentght and go to a heavier leaders to the fly.

I own 3 of the 30's and find them perfect for medium-light applications (trolling for crappies, small mouth bass etc) this reel is well made and has a smooth drag system... however limited spool capacity ! I think the 40 or 50 would be a better choice for you.

I'm not familiar with your rod. Try it and see what happens. Bear in mind it is an inexpensive reel.

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

it depends on your reel model and line rating you want to use. Info is readily available on Pflueger website or Amazon.

Any lbs test but less line on reel because diameter of line.its your reel that's most sensitive to line lbs. smaller cast farther so forth

I'm using one on a 5/6 weight rod that I've set up for trolling flies. I never cast with it, so the heavier line isn't a problem. A heavier rod would increase the chance of breaking a light tippet on a strike.

I think the 30 will handle most of those needs. The drag system is excellent. I can run 10 and 12 pound line on it fine. If your averaging monster fish consistantly you may think about the 40. But ive had no problem yet, and I only fish rivers.

(size) capacity of the spool...20 takes more line...15 less... check specification ..how much fishing line it takes..

I am using 12 mono line. It really all depends on your rod. Just go with the recomended on the reel and rod they should be printed somewhere on there.
