Line for 50TW?

[taJon]

I was thinking of using 50# test, but you use 80? Do you use the clear or one of the colors?

I think I have 80 on there, I know it is not 50 but I might have opted for 60 last year, I have to look. And the color is a light blue. Replacing all that mono each season is not cheap. I don't use them as much as I use to anymore now that I have a smaller boat , and that is the reason I was thinking of going to the braid as I could just replace the mono topshot each season instead of the entire spool. Most guys like the mono on troll as they can see it better and it detangles easier) hence the top layer of mono on there. (but personally I enjoy fighting a fish on the braid)

I have big game on some of my reels (actually most of them) but they are 80Ws spooled with 100 big game. On big reels like that line capacity isn't an issue. On a smaller reel I would go with a good, thin, 80lb mono, like Jinkai.
