new Avet LX6/3 Reel

fyermn · Mar-13-2007, 07:59 PM

I bought a new Avet6/3 reel at the hall show. What pound spectra should I use on it? The reel will be used for various types of fishing and I figutre I can changed the topshots out to fit the fishing and conditions. If I use 80 spectra, will the reel hold enough pluss the top shot, or should I use 65 spectra? I figure that the top shots will be 40-50-60 lb.I am open for your comments and recommendations.

I'd go 80lb hollow for abrasion and to cut down on capacity a bit.

Depends on how much line you want on it. It will hold 500 yards of 65# JB with room for a 50+ yard topshot of 40#...should be able to catch a Marlin with it...or decent sized Tuna.

i have 300 yards of 65# spectra and 120 yards of 40# p line mono on my . That works good for me

Reel is ideal for 40lb mono line and maxed out at 50lb. 65 hollow spectra is more than enough, no need for 80lb.

If you plan to fish the reel with 40# I too suggest you go with about 400 yards of 65# spectra. That way you get a long top shot to play tangle mania on a sport boat. Last year a few guys were very upset when we fished Alijos on anchor. A tangle in mono is cheap; one in spectra is pricey. They cut them both!

I just bought one of those, sure is nice. I put 300 yards of 65 Lb braid and a 100 yards of 30 Lb. Works good for me...............
