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

Hey Daniel, that is kind of odd. When I purchased it I thinki remember seeing 300 on the reel as well. However the description and gear ratio is that of the 300 pro. This is something I would verify with amazon in order to insure you get the product you are intending to buy. Sorry I couldn't help :(

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.

Nothing but I ordered another extra spool so I could easily switch to a higher or lower pound line. But that is from another site was like $20. But I have landed 5-7 pound salmon with 8lb line on this reel no problem.

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.

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

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.

Well to be honest with you I fished in Daytona Beach over the summer I used 60 lb trilene big game for all of my line I didn't use any power pro my reel was a Penn senator 6/0 and it worked just fine I would use at least 100 to 150 yds of that for backing would be my guess just really enough to cover the spool over once or twice

Go with the 6925, it has a 5.2:1 Gear Ratio, 7.2 oz weight and line capacity is 4/110, 6/90. I have this reel paired with a Fenwick HMX Ultra Light 7ft.Great combination!

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 honestly don't know what the reel's capacity is with 40 lb. Power Pro. In my opinion you should play it safe and go with a 300-yard spool. A 150 yard spool may be enough but I'm a firm believer that overkill beats underkill. Spool it up as tight as you can, too.

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.

This size 60 with lever drag is a great reel for yellow tail and tuna up to 50 lbs. It holds more line and has a better drag than the Jigmaster. It is a nice reel for the price. I run a small charter operation and have 6 of these Squall reels in various sizes. They are used by both novice and experienced anglers with no issues.
