Anyone running one of these for topwater?
I'm interested in what line weight and how much people might be getting on these.
I've read the blurb on them and it states 300m of pe4, I'm interested in what this equates to in real life. 
I'm probably going to pe5.
 
Cheers

300- PE4  on mine.  varivas.. 65pnd test. 
these reels are all good, put carbon drag kit and am getting 12-13kg of smooth drag which is more than enough for most topwater action.
