what size line can it hold
271737
When you look at the specification sheet it shows that you can go from 4lb. test mono on the 20a all the way to 30lb. test mono on the 90a. You can use braid like I do on the 40a and 50a. 40 lb test Power Pro braid is the same diameter as 10lb. test monofilament. I use my Avenger Abf series when I am surf or pier fishing for Red fish on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Hope this answer helps as it has been a long day and I'm not thinking very clearly. Lol

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

I just purchased an ABF 50 and I purchased a 300 yard roll of Power Pro 30 lb (which is suppose to be the same diameter as 8 lb mono). I also purchased a bass pro brand 8lb mono line for backing. The Avenger ABF 50 says that it can hold 440 yards of 10 lb line So I used a bunch of calculations to see how much backing I needed. It was all for nothing.I kept having too much backing and the braided line was pushed all the way out to the very edge of the spool. I took ALL of the backing off and 300 yards of Power Pro 30 lb braid (green) fits perfectly!So in recap, ABF 50 = 300 yards of Power Pro 30 lb braided line with no backing.

Good question. I tried it on a 5' piece of line and it worked like a champ.

I bought a 100' roll which made 4 lines between my poles. This is the best clothesline line I've ever used because it's really heavy compared to other line I've used. I highly recommend it.

10,000 pound test...but only a few feet of it. Apparently you are unfamiliar with hand lines. You can put any pound test line you choose. The larger pound test line the less number of feet the reel will hold. Ask yourself what size fish do I want to fight using a hand line. Then put a line that is 20% heavier. Besides, the hand line you are asking about comes with line, leader, swivels, hook and sinkers. What are you going to do, strip all that off and start over?

I used a 3/4 " line. I think the Rheem website will tell you the minimum line.

My husband bought a 500 lb line to hang it on and we've been on it with 2 adults and 2 kids so I'd say at min 350 lbs but probably over 400. it's really well made.

Used 3/4" line. Would probably not be good to use a smaller line, but check the Rheem specifications and installation requirements.

Make sure the weight is secured high enough and the line is not too long where the weight is not being utilized. You could always buy another weight and add it to the line to provide more pull back.

I'm no fly fishing expert so I'll let someone else answer that with more detail. I encountered the same dilemma with my 5wt and I went with the 5/6 so I could have more capacity for line. Panfish and small bass probably won't pull a ton of line out and the reel might be more along the lines of a "line holder" but if you think there is a chance of hooking into some bigger fish with it I'd look at the 5/6.

I think it says the lines weight on discription...no more than 6 or 8 I'm thinking..you can always change the line.

We haven't used it yet because were not expecting the small size. What type of line/waters are you using this reel for?

Its designed for a 0.80 inch line. It looks like the clearance would not allow a thicker line.

Hi Stephen, I use .090 inch line in mine, and is real easy to wind the line on to the spool. You will like this one.

If you want really thick line that only holds 45 pounds then sure. Better to stick with powerpro man. Made that same mistake

Yes, it fits standard lines and you can also get adapters for tanks as well. It uses the same thread size

I bought a heavy duty .95 diameter line and it worked great with the head. It's worked great for me and the heavy duty line I seldom have to change. No problems. I hope this helps.

I am using monofilament 50 lb line and is working very well. You can go with less powerful line if you're fishing for smaller fishes.
