Started a thread on reel questions, but decided to ask here as well. Due to an unfortunate accident (little nephew) i find my self needing to replace the line on my 20k. I had 395 meters/yards (what ever power pro measured in) on my reel now reduced to about 200-250. Once i have $200 saved I'm looking to replace with 80lb line, i want maximum capacity, i fish mostly at kaikoura with uncle an friends, and some drops are 300mters plus. And should chance occur a jigging session when in north island visiting rele's. Would prefer metered braid. So whats my best option inside my budget?

Yep that is what I was going to recommend too. I have it on my saltiga and pretty happy so far.

southernwanderer,  you will get 450m, maybe a touch more

Sorry mate correction, I'm after PE8, which is 100lb. Let me know
