RE:Abu 6500 cs line

Well I have 2 Mag-elites and have spooled various things on them. I have 17# mono on one right now and Fireline 20# on the other. I have been happy with the mono (well as happy as i can be with mono) I just put the firelineon this past weekend, but I landed some nice size sharkes on it no problem. I have also used 50# whiplash, I ma not a big whiplash fan, it tends to dmaage itself in a backlash <img src="/Images/Sad.gif"><!--e2--> and when you cast like me thats an issue <img src="/Images/Happy_Face.gif"><!--e1--> I have also used Gedebrod 45# fly backing on it. That worked out very well but it expensive. The idea of using the braid is that you increase the capacity of the reel. THe reel is not designed to fish 50# braid to the limit. If you use Braids fish them and apply pressure the same as mono, its the cpacity your after.......
