Braid line is slick. Does this counter only take Mono?

I use it with 80 pound braided line and it worked great. It has a tention screw that pretty much let's u adjust to any line.

I use Berkeley 50 lb. Mono. Doesn't work on that or floracarbon 20 lb that I use for tolling for crappie and pan fish. Hope it helps. I haven't tried braid yet but I have metered braid coming in and ill let you know how accurate it is when it arrives.

When you look at the specification sheet it shows that you can go from 4lb. test mono on the 20a all the way to 30lb. test mono on the 90a. You can use braid like I do on the 40a and 50a. 40 lb test Power Pro braid is the same diameter as 10lb. test monofilament. I use my Avenger Abf series when I am surf or pier fishing for Red fish on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Hope this answer helps as it has been a long day and I'm not thinking very clearly. Lol

Since 65lb braid is equivalent to 17lb mono, I would choose a reel that would be stout enough to hold a sufficient amount of 17-20 lb line and has a good drag response. The Opus would probably do well for occasional fishing. I use mine with a 7' cast rod and a 12' surf and it does fine. Handles reds well. I set a loose drag and tighten down to tire a larger fish before dragging it on shore.

Yes. Highly recommend using Norvell or another professional grade. Venetian is my favorite line.

I would have thought it held allot more line, than is stated, because it is a freakishly large reel! It is not stated, but I am sure this the box is quoted as standard Monofilament Line. & FYI: Gear Ratio is 4.9:1Boca PTs 80 - Line Capacity is: 420 Yards / 17 lb. test, 330 yds / 20 lb., 265 yds. / 25 lb. So, if you are like me and plan to use braided line as the core line and mono leaders, then you'll get allot more yardage of line on the spool. If you need a reel case, I recommend the size "LARGE" Shimano Neoprene reel cover.

Our board has a mono out plug and fader control for the mono line. I ran the feed from that to the sub and it works great.

There is a "Menu" which allows you to select the required track. However there is no stop or pause between tracks, so if you require the tracks in a certain order I suggest you number them as part of the title.I can't say for certain whether line in or out is stereo, but I can't see the point in them being mono.

As with most lines, some are slipprier than others. Braid is one that slips more often. The knots employed can be a key component in the equation. Not knowing which knots you employed makes it difficult. I have used the Palomar , Trilene, Uni knots with a fair amount of success. 8lb. Mono from Trilene which I have used extensively for many years, has not failed at the knot with the knots I have mentioned.

William - Braided line will absolutely work with this pole. I have two of them and I use braid. Do you have a question about using braid or just about using it on this pole? I use braid for the backing and then add a "TOP SHOT" of about 100 yards of mono on top of that. This way you get the best of both worlds... Plenty of line with the braid and a little bit of stretch with the mono. Caught a 40 Pd Kingfish yesterday.

Wetting the lines when pulling the knot tight, lubricates the line and allows it to slide and pull up tighter and easier!!!If you are having problems with early weakness..look at your line guides!!! If you have used mono before the power pro. the mono will have cut small groves in the guides, which will easily tear up the braid, but not be very visable!!!! It is suggested to run a cotton swab around your guides and the cotton will catch in the minute groves cut by the mono....Changing guides is much cheaper than repeatdly changing the braid!!!

I just purchased an ABF 50 and I purchased a 300 yard roll of Power Pro 30 lb (which is suppose to be the same diameter as 8 lb mono). I also purchased a bass pro brand 8lb mono line for backing. The Avenger ABF 50 says that it can hold 440 yards of 10 lb line So I used a bunch of calculations to see how much backing I needed. It was all for nothing.I kept having too much backing and the braided line was pushed all the way out to the very edge of the spool. I took ALL of the backing off and 300 yards of Power Pro 30 lb braid (green) fits perfectly!So in recap, ABF 50 = 300 yards of Power Pro 30 lb braided line with no backing.

I believe this is mono, I have not checked as I have it connected to my work PC, an am prevented by policy from downloading non-work related software. Sorry

I prefer larger "round" baitcasters for that task, although this one has a little bit larger spool than many low profile reels, so it is good with 14lb mono or 20lb braid. Although it's not really made for salt, it should be OK if you are meticulous about cleaning it afterwards.

Depends of the purpose, my friend. I purchased only one as I use it for checking mono compatibility during mastering. If you're mixing, you might want to consider getting a pair to check how the overall mix would sound (R+L), and how all elements sit on your mix. Cheers.

This mixer does not have sufficient mono channels for your application. Channels 2-3 and 4-5 are stereo inputs (meaning they are contolled with the same fader). Some of the larger Xenyx mixers will get you the inputs you need.... something with at least 5 distinct faders to control each instrument's mix individually. Hope this helps. :-)

that 8.0 just part of the description. My problem with this line is that it states on the spool 40.2 kg test and that does not compute to 100 lb test. It is very strong braided line but they should change the 100 lb test to what it really is.

I use the 600LC with mono for Chinook and Coho and braided for Sturgeon. In both cases it handles both lines with no problem.
