the reel is the size of a heavy but the line is about a medium to medium heavy. I mounted mine on my sling-bow and the line snapped when I forgot to hit the release button. luckily I was able to fish my arrow out with my rod. lol hope this helped.

I honestly don't know what the reel's capacity is with 40 lb. Power Pro. In my opinion you should play it safe and go with a 300-yard spool. A 150 yard spool may be enough but I'm a firm believer that overkill beats underkill. Spool it up as tight as you can, too.

This size 60 with lever drag is a great reel for yellow tail and tuna up to 50 lbs. It holds more line and has a better drag than the Jigmaster. It is a nice reel for the price. I run a small charter operation and have 6 of these Squall reels in various sizes. They are used by both novice and experienced anglers with no issues.

Those are different sizes. I'm not sure which is the largest. I bought the 40 to use on the Okuma SST (salmon steelhead trout) rod, which is a relatively heavy rod which I have 30lb braid on the reel (but the reel could easily take 12lb mono, and that would probably be the lb test I would use on that rod if I was running mono). If you are buying this for bass or trout, you shouldn't need anything larger than the 30.

I have the 7 ft and haven't used it for anything close to that big. My guess would be if your reel is up to the task I think the pole would work for thst

i used 12lb on a recent trip to the Caribbean where i used the 4000 and it performed just fine. I was completely satisfied with the performance of this reel, also bought the 5000 which worked a little better for surf fishing because the casting ability of a larger set up for getting the bait out.

I would probably say to use the 1/8 oz size but it really depends on the water current where you are fishing along with the size of the gulp bait you are using. You want it heavy enough to not get swept away too quickly if the current is strong but not so heavy that it falls to the bottom too quickly when jigging and takes away from the action of the bait. The 1/8 oz would probably be a good place to start. Hope that helps & tight lines!

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.

On the company's web site it states the reel will fit up to 150 ft with a 5/8 hose or 100 ft with a 3/4 hose. They also sell an extra capacity kit for $20 which increases the size to 225 ft for 5/8 or 175 ft for 3/4.

The reel size depends on how you want to fish. Big fishes need bigger reel butthe reel isnt too big if its a spinning reel. So its not too heavy. If you ate using a conventional reel then size makws a difference in weight and size. Smaller reel have weaker drag fir smaller fish. Bigger size reel had stronger resistance and hold moreline. I just bought a medium size reel using 30lb and fush would drag alll my line and I would have to sacrifice a hook in order not to losea spool of line. Big fishes need bigger reel so it can fit more bigger line. Smaller fish in lakes and river wouldnt need those. I would go for a bigger reel if I had to buy again. Its not so much bigger if its a spinning reel.

This great reel comes in three sizes. From the smallest 1000 to 2500 to the largest a 4000. The Quick Fire II trigger system is great for one-handed casts. It has a Lightweight graphite frame, sideplate and rotor and other great features. I really like the smooth smooth action and rear drag. I am not an expert, but I would check out the small 1000 at a dealer so you can make your own decision. I have the 2500 and 4000 reels and love them.

Good choice on the reel for the species your are fishing. You can spool it with the 12lb test Spider Wire which has the diameter of 8lb test. You will not be sacrificing yardage at all which the smaller diameter line. 30s is a great reel, my favorite size for fishing the Florida Flats is the 3000 series reels. Enjoy!!!

I've used mine on trout upto 23-24 inches. I've even pulled a 5 lb catfish out of the river with it. I use a pflueger presidents series reel on it and love it. Like it so well I bought a second one. One set with 4 lb test and one with 6.
