Does this reel come with line already on it?

Nope, depending on what you're going after as to the pound test. The rod is light so you can't use a heavy line and target heavy (15lb. +) fish. I put 16 lb. test mono. and getting good results. Much heavier than that you're going to get a real reduction in casting distance and more rig shift with the current.

Yes the string comes with it. I'm not sure the #. I would buy new string anyways. The stuff that came with it broke easily. Replaced it with 200# line, works much better.

No line included. But I have to say it's a great reel. (I use 30# braid for dragging bass through the weeds.

No, it does not. I don't think when the come with line they are doing you any favors, I have never purchased a reel that came with decent line that was appropriate for what I was using it for. I looked long and hard, local and online, and couldn't find a better deal on a quality bait caster with a low end price.

Yes, but I would replace it. Don't know how long it was been spooled on the reel.

Yes it did. Good product but this must be the umteenth such hose reel I have bought over the years. I question their longevity, ......3, maybe 4 years????

It did not come with any line. I was fine with this as I still felt it was a great value. I used 20 lb test Berkley 'Fireline' and was pleased with the action.

No Sir. I ended up buying another reel as a backup when it took so long to get the one I ordered.

I have not personally used braided line on my reel, but I see no reason why you could not use braided line...I only get to use my reel a couple times a year, but for the money and what I use it for; I love it!

It does not come with line loaded on it. I've found 25lb. and lighter line to work the best for shore fishing and casting. The heaviest recommended is 30lb. Length of line depends on thickness.

It does come with the lines and no kit is needed. We were not sure and ordered the kit and did not need and had to send back.

Yes. Mine came with red line. They also come with an extra spool, (actually a disk) that has no line on it. I just loaded 12lb. on the extra to keep in my tackle box in reserve---the extra disk is small, so even though it does not hold a lot of line it takes up little space. Been using the original spool/disk for a couple of seasons now and have not yet had to replenish the line on it. Just keep in mind that these are ideal for small lakes or streams, so a large amount of line is not really a limiting factor. They come spooled with 60 yds. as I recall.

yes, everything but the hose is included. It is a very good reel. I recommend it

No, this reel does not come with and extra spool. I would suggest you go on the Okuma website and contact their office in Ontario California. I currently have the Trio 30 and it has become one of my favorite reel.

No this does NOT come with a reel. Do NOT buy this yet. I need to see how Shakespeare stands behind its product. The very first time I used it, I hooked a 14 inch Fluke and the rod snapped. There is NO WAY this rod should have snapped. I have to contact Shakespeare and see how well their customer service department is.

Yes, but be aware it's just the reels. You will need to order the appropriate size pole.

The reel doesn't come pre spooled. I always spool my own reels. Depends on the rod I'm going to use the reel on as to which line you would like to use.
