how much line can the reel hold with 30lb test ?

I got about 300 ft with 30 lb test but I did not fill it to the max, could probably have taken another 50 ft.

If it's mono line it would hold 150-175 yds in Suffix Brand lines, these lines have thinner diameter than other brand lines of the same stren. Braid would hold 300yds. Other brand mono lines would hold 125yds top.

If you select the "50-Pound/370-Yard" from the drop down menu and look at the description below it, it says 40lb/420yds which matches the line capacity of the 50LD according to PENN's site. It would be safe to assume the 50 in "50-Pound/370-Yard" is the reel size.

I had 200 yards put on my reel but I think it is a little too much as I used 20 lb test and it unspools a little line between uses because the spool is maxed out.

The 30 is what I would call a standard sized bass fishing reel so I'd say a 20 would be perfect for ultra light applications.

After using mine it feels like a 6-8lb test line. Works pretty flawless and a great pole for the price. Caught some bass and crappie and blue gill first time with it

I have the ultra light reel and use 8 lb fire line. Casts very smooth and long.

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

I have yet to fish for anything larger than red drum. but this reel can use up to 40lb line, maybe 150yrds. maybe more I do not have my reel with me right now to look. Anyway handle the yellow fin, have fun this reel will get the job done. Blessings Bro.

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.

I have about 30 yards of braid on it, but it will depend on size of the line you use.

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.

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.

I have caught 4+ pound fish on 2lb test line. Assuming you mean you want to try to catch fish weighing 8 to 10 pounds I would use 6 to 8lb test line at the most. You should match the line with your rod and reel but I have found using lighter line catches more fish. There are also anglers that use heavy line especially when fishing in weeds or water that has a lot of snags. Check the rating on your rod (usually on the rod just above the handle). I will repeat that I like to use light weight lines ( 4 to 8lb test) on all my spinning set ups.

Couldn't tell ya? I sent mine back because it failed on me the second time I fished with it. I had the 6935 but I can't remember the line capacity - sorry!

Depending on the line wieght and tackle you use you should be able to land a fish up to 30lbs or more however that will be quite a accomplishment. No doubt if you keep trying you will land the big one so good luck and happy fishing.

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

I use 14 - 17 lb test based on the rod and the target fish. ie steelhead or king salmon.
