Penn CV 8000 spinning reel
 

says it's rated for 270 yards of 20 pound test mono. Is this a "braid friendly" reel ? Best line to use ?

thanks

20 poundAnde back country. Stay away from braid if you surf cast around rocks!

stren high impact....
great for all conditions and terrain...

:chatter I agree to diasagree, 30 pound Fireline. I wouldn't call it a braid, it's more of a extracted, spun gel. Bombproof, try it in the rocks, you'll never look back and never use anything else.

Fireline is a great line as far as braid goes yet it still fails to hold a candle to mono as far abrasion resistance, especially backcountry. Backcountry may be the toughest line arround. I mananged pull a good fish out of heavy, heavy, cover (serious rocks and kelp beds) recently. This line held up spectacularly, not a nick on it. That's just my 2 cents, if my oppinion is even worth that. Everyone has their own line preference and for some reason we all defend our own as the best to the death.:o

power Pro - it is round and doesn't dig in:)

I got turned on to the backcountry last season by a couple of guys here and have never looked back.

I haven't had problems yet with 30-lb Fireline, even through several trips to Cuttyhunk.
