I want to use a #12 fluorocarbon line- Any suggestions on the reel size I should buy? Thanks

I have several of these reels and use them for most of my fishing needs...I would use either the 8 or 10 pound reel...Not much difference on the reel-They are a tough breed.....Good fishing..

I think 12# is a bit large for a spinning reel maybe 10#. But if you want to try it size 4000 would be good. Buy the way they are a great reel. Hope this helps. Craig

It depends on how big a reel you're looking to buy. The bigger the reel, the heavier it is. Personally I prefer a smaller reel and would opt for a smaller reel that could hold less line. A 6930 would be on the smaller side for 12# line and a 6940 is the largest offered and would also hold the most line. If you're doing a lot of live bait fishing and not doing a lot of casting then maybe the large size would work best for you.

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.

it depends on your reel model and line rating you want to use. Info is readily available on Pflueger website or Amazon.

I have been using the original one that come with the reel. It is a 0.41 mm. or 1/64''. The additional spool -not yet used is 0.29 or 1/128. Perhaps it wil not have that problema. If I ever change the line, I will use a max. of 12 lb. test. It is to fish for (Spanish) pavón or robalo, not more than 3 kgs.

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.

Check out https://www.okumafishing.com/ Clink the links for fly fishing, reels, cascade, then select the Models tab.I see both 4/6 and 7/9 spools for this model.

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

I purchased this reel to fish for northern pike & lake trout so I was mostly using heavy lures with 20# line. I was very pleased with how it performed. Although I have not used it with light lures & line I see no reason why it would not work equally well.Cliff

First I would have recommended a higher drag weight on the reel. It sounds like you want heavy fish, so I would go with the 300 yds. You also may want to consider going to 50 lb. line, between your rod and the drag you can handle some pretty large fish with this set up. Remember to balance you drag with the weight recommendation of the rod builder.

I did go with Cedros 40 and it fits perfectly. The smaller reel has so much drag power that you can easily handle big fish with braid.

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

The 750 is a good size for your tank. I have the 1150 for a 75. The key is the position. Experiment with a few to see what your fish like.

Sorry to say, but this is a strong reel meant for Marine Fishing. Put some strong line on it and go after the big fish !Keith S.

Are you surf fishing or boat fishing I have my DF100A on a 12 foot surf rod. The reel can handle most anything you hook. Your particular style of fishing will dictate the type of spinning rod you match it with

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

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.

It depends on your draw length, we recommend CARBON: B00JT0KRIC, ALUMINUM: B00QB0K440 OR B00JVFR7GK, FIBERGLASS: B00Q9CQVVU OR B00Q9CQW1E. I hope that this helps.

None - you shouldn't use that heavy of line in this lightweight reel.However, you could do what I do and use a braided line, which is much stronger than monofilament lines for the same diameter. I've got 6lb test Suffix braided line and it has a rated breaking strength of 20lbs, but the diameter of a typical 6lb test line (about the maximum diameter that should be used with this reel). The braided line costs 2-3x what a monofilament line would cost, but I figure it saved me much more than that in lost tackle, as I lost only two lures in a week's solid fishing and they both caught on the backside of heavy logs and frayed on the edge of the log.
