[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2975870, member: 15054"] I use 20 lb braid on my lightest stuff. 50 and 65 on all other reels. I am not after skittish fish though..I like the 20lb for jig fishing..as i can usually straighten the hook when I get hung up.. and get the lure back.. recurve the hook and back to fishing. My Braid lasts for years before I need to respool... usually breaking off the line gets shorter and shorter. When i can cast about all the line off the reel time to respool. Usually can cast 95 yards of line. Those 150 yard spools are not large enough. Some of my reels will hold 600 yards of 65 lb braid. I know you guys have larger reels. I use one bait caster for marking distances..each 100 yards on the reel there is a loop in the string. Stretch it out across a pipe line or field and get your distances for shooting..Poor boy range finder. Of course mark the spots with something. [/QUOTE]
