Maxel is it? I have 20lb Tasline All White series on mine. Actually tests at 35lb but very thin(0.21mm) -------------  www.kavemantackle.co.nz

Same reel as mine AJ, sweet little reel. The heavier braid you put on the more the action of the jigs is affected, especially the lighter slow pitch jigs ------------- www.kavemantackle.co.nz

Got the same reel for Slow Pitch long fall jigging, actually I will have two of those reels very soon. Currently running PE1 (20Lb) Amigo Delux for Snapper and small legal kings and will PE3 Amigo Delux Multi colour (50lb) for the bigger Kings on the other.. ------------- www.synit.co.nz |

Nice choice, I got the same but with the colours reversed  I fitted 350m of Katana PE3, which is meant to break in the forties. ------------- http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">

What MIB said. I have been impressed the Amigo braid I have in PE2 & PE3 reasonably priced. Greg at GoFish carries it. ------------- Tight lines PE Pete |
