Penn 7500SS Line Suggestion

[Jonny5-22796]

Hi Joe,

Came back to check on a question I had asked a while ago but noticed you deleted the topic, actually all the topics, what gives?
Old topics help pass time at work...

Anyhoo, any line suggestions for a 7500SS? Its on a Tsunami trophy and don't plan on changing the line until next year.

I did not delete the old topics - I don't have any administrative powers here.
If you only want to use only one line I would suggest mono, 20 pound Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Stren or Big Game.
Do however keep an eye on the last 10 feet and clip off any frayed line.

Jonny I use mono on most of my reels and I would change aleast
twice a year, the reels I use the most get changed 2 to 3 times a
year.

I would never expect a single load of mono to last a whole season. Even if you don't fish around rocks, it absorbs water and weakens from both that and UV exposure during the day. 20# mono is the right line for a 7500. You'll get two spool fills from a 1/4 pound spool of Big Game or Ande Pink--I'd suggest swapping it out around mid-season if you fish a lot. Compared to what you spend on the rest of your gear, mono is dirt cheap.

30# Fireline.

For mono I change it at least 1x a month during the season... for braid I reverse it once a season unless I got a break off or two....
I second 20lb on the 7500 or 30lb AN-40

The other thing about mono, is that like anything else that stretches, it can lose its elasticity and become brittle. I've had bluefish blitzes where it happened in the course of an afternoon. Constantly getting stretched, then relaxing, all of a sudden it just breaks on ya and a nice plug swims off attached to a bluefish.

One pound bulk spool of 20# Big Game, almost 3000 yards, costs what? $30? You can refill that 7500 spool 5 times a season and it'll last you 2 years. Don't try to scrimp on line.

I agree 100% about what Mike and Rock reccomend - cheaping out on the frequency of changing line is a big mistake.
But the question was not put forth that way; for whatever reason, the guy does not want to change his line.
