Can I use 10 lb mono with this reel? Want to use it for kokanee in Utah. Thanks

I'd imagine so. The spool is tight to the frame, barely any gap. I don't think you would have to worry about line getting stuck.

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.

Its an awesome reel to use, I have 6kg on the reel and use it when trolling for Albacore tuna .

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.

This reel has great drag and is so lite to use.i have used it to catch nz kingfish up to 20 pounds which are real dirty fighters ,u can you tube this. A lovely little reel one of my favorites.

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

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

May be a bit large for an ultralight rig. I did not have good luck with this reel. never got it to cast right. Continually back lashed. I cahnged the weight of line and made all the adjudtments I could. Took it apart and cleaned it, although it was new. Nothing worked. I would recommend a Diawa Laguna. I have four of them and they are great and would work perfect on an ultra light rig.

You sound like you're new at this. Fishing is like life. How serious are you? Compared to monofilament line; fluoro is stiff and has a lot of memory, along with its invisibility. I wouldn't try to throw the best 12# size fluoro on a normal sized 40 spinning reel. Instead, stick with a good softer mono, like Berkley Trilene XL 12#, and use a fluoro leader.

Just got this reel, the box says it's rated for 710 of 50lb. It's a big wide reel. I ordered a 1,000 yards of of 100 lb braid and it held most of it. I'd say it will hold 500 of 50 lb. mono easy.

Using 10lbs test line is absolutely fine with this reel. Matter of fact that's exactly what I had loaded last time out. Caught three fair sized pike with it.

hi scott, i used this combo surf casting on cape cod and liked it. it is a light surf casting setup, reel takes 14lb line. i guess if you used braided line you could up it. i think any fish over 20 lbs would be some fight, and fun. it would make a great rod for big fish in fresh water, like cats. hope this helps, steve

No... Matter of fact no baitcaster does. Most people that are going to spool with 30 lb line are usually talking about braid not mono. If you do spool with 30 pound mono you will get less yardage then you would you get with 12 pound. It all boils down what you plan to use this reel for A 7.1:1 Gear ratio reel is usually used for topwater I personally use it for poppers and walk the dog baits and I spool up with 15 pound mono but If your talking about frogs you may want to use 30-50 pound braid with a mono backing!

Yes, that should not be a problem. This reel works with both 9 and 7 weight. Just match the line to the rod.

I use 6 Lb test for trout and bass. Seems to work well, have had no issues with knotting or tangling. Love the reel very smooth and fast.

It is rated for up to 80 pounds however I see no reason why you could not use 100 LB line. I use 80 LB braided and have caught large halibut. Nice rod for the money.

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

This is a great saltwater reel. I use it for slow jigging. So far 12lb snapper are not a problem.
