De[endson where you are fishing???Species??

It is made to fish 300 yards 65# spectra and top it with 30, 40 or 50#

Optimal for 40# though

I have Hollow Guides Choice Tuf Line white 40# spectra and then what ever you want on top. That line is so silky smooth and lays down flat.

Mine have 450 yards of 65lb spectra and a topshot of 40lb test mono. You don't need that much spectra,but it is nice to have it.

what u gonna use it for? bait? yo yo? multi purpose? id go with 300 yds of 65lb with some room for 50lb mono/topshot.

80lb hollow, leaving room for a short (25 feet) leader

Fishing line for sure.

I would suggest either 50 or 65# spectra. You can put what ever top shot of mono you prefer. It will vary on your fishing style and use of the rod/reel.

I am putting 65 on mine. I will leave room for some Mono on top of it, but will nto add it until I need it as for my summer plans it will not need mono. It will be for Ling Cod and Halibut, and thus I will use a strong swivel and a Mono leader then.

Good Luck and have fun.

65-80 spectra topshot of 60lb. Works perfect in Puerto Vallarta. The LX has balls.

I have 2 of the LX 2 speeds spooled with 80 lb. Power Pro. I use them for halibut and bottom fish in Alaska. All we do is free spool, find bottom and hope for the big one. Seem to be a good reel.

80# JB Hollow. 4 feet of fluoro top...really easy to splice 40 into 80
