What is the smallest line you can use on this reel?

This is definitely one of the lightest bait casters you'll find. Not to mention one of the smoothest reels I've used and is great for salt water or even the largest bass such as caught on Toledo Bend or Lake Fork in Texas. In the 10 to 13 pound range.

As small as you'd like. It mostly depends on how light your rod is. However a super light rod with this heavier reel might be a bit unbalanced. However, I use this reel with 6lb. Line with a medium light rod an have caught 6 pound fish with no problems.

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.

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.

Hi Willy, this reel has a 50 meter line capacity if you are using standard 1.5mm line. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can help you with.

This reel seems to be just a little small for this rod. Okuma makes a reel one size bigger and that would be a better fit.

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

You need to decide what breaking strain of line you are using, what kind of fishing, and what your budget is. Let me know and I will try and help you. :)

no line...a good little unit for a 1 or 2 weight rod...fished it all season on my 2wt. and the reel was great, well worth the money

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

I guess you could tie the line to the end but why? Might as well cut a 4 or 5 foot branch off a tree. Its shorter than the usual rod. Its designed for a reel, I use one.

Amazon often is missing critical information like line capacity/size for fishing reels. Best to just surf over to the manufacturer website for quick answers. In this case: http://www.daiwa.com/reel/detail.aspx?id=636 (valid 7/15/15)

In my experience most any reel work on a 5 wt. it holds more line than u need but it's light.

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..

Always for ultralite, pick the smallest reel that will hold enough line to land the fish you are targeting.

Hi Jake, this very small reel I guess you need a bigger one to be able to catch bigger fish
