Thread: What to put on new reel?

    What to put on new reel?

    Hi all,

    I recently picked up a Rovex Big Boss 7500 reel, more of a spur of the moment job than anything else, plus the big water snake had knocked $100 off the normal retail price.

    Can't make up my mind what line to put on it.

    Thought I'd try it out on a bit of bottom bashing in the future, probably around Mooloolaba and maybe out off Rainbow Beach.

    Anybody got any suggestions?

    TOL - Isn't there an add on Ausfisher selling braid for $10 for 300 meters. I think 50 pound braid should be good for those 30cm tailors

    Didn't you pull some wire off the Hill's hoist that got splatted by the tree??
    Will that go on?

    Timdo,

    I think he's got some 80lb stuff there as well. Might load it up with that.

    Finga,

    I wouldn't want to go too heavy. It's probably 7 strand wire. Maybe I could unravel it and just use the one strand.

    Or better still, I could ask Aigutso for advice. He'd probably recommend 80 lb braid with 130lb mono leader just to be safe.

    Phill,

    Thanks for your suggestion.
