How much line for jigging and bottom bashing?
Submitted by Cameron71 on Sun, 2011-04-17 10:08
I have a powerspell PE4-8 and need to work out what reel is going on it.
I am planning to get some of Till's PE5/70lb and use this as a heavy outfit. Would run the PE6 if I can get enough of it onto a reel which doesn't weigh a ton.
I have a Torsa 20 but am concerned that I won't get enough braid on it for the weight of the thing (awesome reel but).
How much braid do you guys recommend, assuming that on a charter I end up dropping in 150m?

I've got the Torsa 20 with 300m of PE8 and it's more than enough for anything I'm going to use it for, including drops to 150m deep. You'll get more than enough PE6 on it, I've also had 600m of 50lb for deepwater (300m) on it and fitted nicely.

Yep
300 m is plenty for anything out to 200m depth, I have seen plenty of Torsa's with 300m of pe 8 and none were hampered with only 300m on them.
Cabellas have 300m spools of Cajun PE8 ( 80 lb) for $19 a spool.
