Yes you can use braided line I use (80 lb) braid on mines havent had any probled so far.

Sure. Use mono backing (a LOT of mono backing or it would cost a fortune to spool with with braid). One of mine has 25lb mono, the other, 40lb braid with 40lb mono backing.

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

I have not personally used braided line on my reel, but I see no reason why you could not use braided line...I only get to use my reel a couple times a year, but for the money and what I use it for; I love it!

Yes;I always used braided line with my spinning reels,included my Daiwa Giant sized (80lbs.line)

i cant imagine why you couldnt. just be sure you get into the little squiggle places of the braids. should work fine. when the rug is cleaned, it will wash out and need to be redone.

Yes you can. Personally I use 50lbs braid on my Millionaire, and that's about like 12lbs mono. Works very well and casts pretty far especially on my 12 foot surf rod.

I have been using braided line and it works well. However, I have been just back into fishing for a little over a year so it might help to talk to someone else. I like the reel, though, and would recommend it whole-heartedly!

Yes, with some considerations on how you will use it. I have used lead core with backing. I have used it loaded with 30# braid. The most important thing is the leader pound test be within limits of the fishing rod and set the drag properly. Keep the reel clean after each days use and back the drag when storing reel.

Yes you can reel back in if you tie a line to it. Unfortunately it probably wont work after the first time because the arrows tips are of extremely poor design. Just my two cents

With 300 yards of 65 lb braid you should be perfectly fine. The catfish arnt the strongest fish on the block. I personally prefer to have more line but a bit thinner. So I would go with 20 or 30 lb braid and get double the amount of line on the reel. I land 40 kg blacktip reef sharks with 455m of 20 lb braid on my reel. But I like ligt tackle fishing. Hope this helps. I am sponsored by okuma so if you need any professional advice just ask.

yes,,, its a great reel for braided line,, just look at the diameter of the line match it with the specs on the reel,, fish on brother,, oh by the way,,, the high speed means,, HIGH SPEED,,

Technically you could, yes. However there are a lot of other different kinds of braiding hair that may give you the look you want without the risk. I think you would really like "Ziggy" braid by Rastafri. We don't carry it on amazon yet but you could order it directly via email. Please email sales@doctoredlocks.com if you are interested in a photo of the Ziggy braid.

Yes it would. Many people now use smaller more expensive reels with braid. But the jig master will do the job with or without braid. If trolling yes the level wind is a better choice. Try a penn 320GT Same weight and dimensions as a jig master with a levelwind.

No, but why? It is what it is. Has worked fine for me, with Spinner and bull sharks up to 7 feet, using 30lb braid, so the drag was used a LOT!. It's a giant surf reel, great because you can cast 30+ lb braid line, or 30lb mono, and is meant for surf catches. You aren't gonna use it for trolling or live baiting sailfish or kingfish offshore, so why the carbon drag?

Sure;If you use 80 lbs.braided line can handle anything you hook,Ialways use 80lbs.braided line in all my reels.No problem at all.

It could be, you will need to change your reel. This reel is not for salt water use.

You can load your reel with the Power Pro first, tie in the mono and top off the reel. Now spool the mono that is on top off to another reel or whatever spool you have lying around. This leaves the braid on the bottom of the reel you will fish with. Take the braided line off the reel and replace it with the mono.Now tie the braided line to the mono and wind it back onto the reel. It should fit perfectly. This works great if you have several reels to fill that are all the same size. One reel simply reverses onto the next reel. Hope this helps, have fun. Jim

I use this line for jug lines. I don't think it would spool well on a reel.

I don't know about 100# braid. I am using 50# braid and all is well. I have several different Penn reels (Jigmaster & Senator. etc.) that I will be using but any type of conventional/baitcasting reel should work. Good fishing and tight lines!
