What is the line test max for this reel?

30 pounds. But you could use it with a 50 if you want but you won't have much line... i've tried it once and worked well like that

I have several. I use 30lb. mono on acouple, and 80 lb. braid on 2 of them. I don't have any trouble either way.

I would have thought it held allot more line, than is stated, because it is a freakishly large reel! It is not stated, but I am sure this the box is quoted as standard Monofilament Line. & FYI: Gear Ratio is 4.9:1Boca PTs 80 - Line Capacity is: 420 Yards / 17 lb. test, 330 yds / 20 lb., 265 yds. / 25 lb. So, if you are like me and plan to use braided line as the core line and mono leaders, then you'll get allot more yardage of line on the spool. If you need a reel case, I recommend the size "LARGE" Shimano Neoprene reel cover.

Bought this for my husband who used Spiderwire 15 lb test line for trout in fresh water lake. I guess the test line weight depends on what your fishing for. Hope this helped.

The gauge is 21awg. The sticker on the reel states 6.0 mm dia. I measured it at .240 inches. This is some of the best wire I have found for the price.

The bigger question is what is the test of the line I used 6lbe test and got about 130yrd on mine

I'm not sure that I understand the question. If you are asking the maximum drag on the reel it is 13.2 pounds.

Any fish you would need to use a braided line for would be too much for that reel. Stick with mono.

This reel though well made did not meet my line capacity needs and was returned. From handling it felt rugged and strong with a good drag. It came with a standard warranty. If it meets your needs I would recommend it as a good buy for the money.

I have 3 of these reels I am real happy with them. I use them for bass and catfish the line I use is 20lb breaded line super good for25lb catfish. I had no problem. I say give it a try and see what happen for the price you can not beat it. GO FOR IT

They have something screwed up on the posting. Size should be like 1000RG, 2500RG, 4000RG. The numbers they show would be spool size. A 4000 reel is a pretty hefty reel.

That depends on what you're fishing for. I'd say it's okay for fish that go up to 30-40lbs. It's definitely not a big game reel. I use #60 gel spun line as backing with a WF8F line because of the small diameter. I can fit about 150 yards of it on the reel. In contrast, the Martin website lists capacity as 35 yards of #20 backing with the line I'm using. Note that I have four times as much. Any backing with a larger diameter might not allow you to load enough and put you in danger of getting spooled with energetic saltwater species. So I think gel spun is the only backing option if fishing saltwater with this reel.

I use 20lbs power pro braided line, reel works fine and line isn't to heavy, casts far and come back quickly...

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 choose this reel because I only fish for crappie and bluegill, and this reel has the quick-fire. I use 6lb test line but this reel will hold 2 and 4lb test it will hold 270 feet of 2lb and 140 feet of 4lb also I get the rear drag for more control when I get a bigger fish on. I choose this reel because they no longer make the Solstace 1000rh. I have always use Shimano. I have caught some very large catfish and bass with no problem.

I am not sure, but the only thing I can say is that this is the best free standing rapid reel I have ever purchesed. It is worth the money as it is truly durable, heavy duty and of a professional quality. It holds a 100 feet professional garden hose

You can determine this yourself. On the spool will be line capacity's. I.E. 160yds 20lb mono ,140yds 25lb mono, 120yds 30lb mono. Compare diameter of mono to braid and extrapolate. If 50lb braid is same diameter as 30lb mono you have your capacity. Note. All line manufactures will state the diameter of of their line. My question is, why install line that has a much higher breaking point than the resistance of the reels drag? Remember you are fishing , not anchoring the boat!
