Sorry when you say PE 5 is that generally 50lb or 80lb braid?]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2021 17:08:02 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135950&PID=1815411&title=spinfisher-vi-7500-80lb-braid#1815411 <![CDATA[Spinfisher VI 7500 80lb braid? : Keith C wrote:Most braids break...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135950&PID=1815356&title=spinfisher-vi-7500-80lb-braid#1815356 Author: spin king

From memory, the world record kingi on line is 52kg caught on 15kg mono (here in Nz). So, if you set your drag to 1/3 to 1/2 of your braid breaking strain, your braid should be fine.


top water is very different ^^ full drag at all times! ]]> Wed, 15 Sep 2021 20:14:48 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135950&PID=1815356&title=spinfisher-vi-7500-80lb-braid#1815356 <![CDATA[Spinfisher VI 7500 80lb braid? : OrangeStickBait wrote:Im heading...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135950&PID=1815354&title=spinfisher-vi-7500-80lb-braid#1815354 Author: spin king

Or should I be looking at a new reel for the trip?

Cheers Keith. Reckon its worth respooling with 65lb or will 50lb with 80-100lb leader be okay? ]]> Wed, 15 Sep 2021 17:53:14 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135950&PID=1815331&title=spinfisher-vi-7500-80lb-braid#1815331 <![CDATA[Spinfisher VI 7500 80lb braid? : I don&#039;t believe you will...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135950&PID=1815328&title=spinfisher-vi-7500-80lb-braid#1815328 Author: Keith C

I don't believe you will need to go above 65lb braid. ]]> Wed, 15 Sep 2021 16:48:46 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135950&PID=1815328&title=spinfisher-vi-7500-80lb-braid#1815328 <![CDATA[Spinfisher VI 7500 80lb braid? : Im heading up to the top of the...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=135950&PID=1815315&title=spinfisher-vi-7500-80lb-braid#1815315 Author: OrangeStickBait
