I have the okuma safina pro spining reel. It said 10 pound and 180 yard. If I buy the 10 pound line here will it work?

Big Game line is very strong and used by lots of people that fish in Florida.

Yes, I believe it will. I use much heavier line for salt water fishing and I really like the trilene by Berkley.

yes, but if u use reel for fresh water suggest stren or trilene line. these lines are better suited for fresh water usage

That depends on what you're fishing for. I'd say it's okay for fish that go up to 30-40lbs. It's definitely not a big game reel. I use #60 gel spun line as backing with a WF8F line because of the small diameter. I can fit about 150 yards of it on the reel. In contrast, the Martin website lists capacity as 35 yards of #20 backing with the line I'm using. Note that I have four times as much. Any backing with a larger diameter might not allow you to load enough and put you in danger of getting spooled with energetic saltwater species. So I think gel spun is the only backing option if fishing saltwater with this reel. That depends on what you're fishing for. I'd say it's okay for fish that go up to 30-40lbs.

I recommend the 3/4 line weight Cahill Crystal River reel....they are about 10$ here on Amazon. GREAT, light, reel

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

Doesn't come with line, I recommend FireWire. Don't know the yard size but it can reel in 10-30 pounds

The weight size is not an issue but you will lose yardage by putting on a higher pound test. If you want to go heavier line, go Power Pro and you will get more yardage. Just a suggestion!

Yes, you can use 10lb test on it and land some big fish with it. I caught 3 20-21 inch large mouth bass last year. It was quite a fight for every one of them but the pole handled it very well. I was very pleased with the performance. Make sure your pole sections are seated tightly as they can sometimes get loose but I haven't had that happen but once. Good luck and Happy fishing!

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

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

I own several Okumas and have owned others in the past. They are excellent performers. The only ones that have failed me are those that escaped over the side of the boat when I was not paying attention. I use 40s and 50s for trolling and coastal fishing. I use 20s and 30s for throwing lures for bass. I think that the 30 will do the job for you without wearing you out. I use 8 lb. mono on my 30s and have had no issues. Great reel.

Mitchell pro series reels being sold everywhere are seriously lacking in specifications. See http://fishmitchell.com/mitchell_300_pro/ for all the info. You should also check out the Mitchell Pro Series Combos!

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.

Best to go online and check on the Okuma website. Also there many other sites can will tell you.My best guess is that the reel is for a 4 or 5 weight rod Here's a Amazon 5 star rating review on the reel review : OKUMA SLV Reels, February 16, 2011 By RobertoThis review is from: Okuma SLV Diecast Aluminum Fly Reel (Sports) I bought an OKUMA SLV 4/5 for my 4 weight rod after a friend recommended it and it is awsome. Very smooth. Now if you buy from Amazon read below, go to the OKUMA site first to figure out which reel size you need.

I own two trio 40's. They are relatively small for size 40 reels. A size 30 or even a 20 though would be better for 8lb line.

That should be able to do that no problem. I was casting in Jetty Park Florida and was using some very heavy lead sinkers, I'd say around a ounce in total weight. I have a Okuma Avenger spinning reel the second biggest one I could get and had 35 pound braid on it, and had no issues. I'd imagine with the right reel, and proper line, you'd have no problem casting those weights.

I fish from a kayak and have had no problems pulling in 20-60 lb fish - wahoo, shibi (small ahi/yellowfin) - no blues in Hawaii. I run power pro w/ mono top shot. Sorry if you're after bigger fish - I don't have the experience w/ the reel.
