is ideal and more than strong enough for anything you want to fish for. I have it on my two VS 250's, my two Saragossa's and my Emblem Pro 5500. No issues at all with Power Pro 50 lb on any of them.

To repeat what has already been said, you have to make sure your line is packed on your reel tight. It can't be said enough that if using a light weight lure you need to let the line out occasionally and retrieve under heavy pressure. If you do this after fishing you might try this while wearing a wet leather glove.

Also, when putting your line on your reel, first put on packing or at least wrap a strip of duct tape around the arbor of your reel - you don't want any slipage of your line.
