Rohit Saqa Lal:
Hi fellas
I am trying to work out what to run on on a reel I am shortly getting. I am looking at running a PE10 diameter or at least 100lb line rating. For those that have loaded these spools with such lines, I would appreciate finding out what loads you are getting with which lines

Lines I am considering are

PE10 avani tuna
PE10 avani gt
100lb jerry brown
100lb jerry brown hollow
100lb tuffline xp
PE10 sunline jigger8

Any others you can recomend?

Thanks in advance

Brandon Khoo:
You'll get roughly 230 to 250m of PE10 onto a 6500 spool. 100lb JB and TF XP is a little finer than PE10. You'd be looking at 260 to 280m roughly.

If you manage to pack your spools really, really tight, you'll get a bit more on but I've never been able to get on what some other people have claimed.

Rohit Saqa Lal:
Thanks Brandon, thats the kind of figures I have been able to glean trawling through various threads here and there. What would be your recomendation out of all the choices

Brandon Khoo:
Rohit, depends on how big your wallet is!   :D

I do like Varivas GT myself but I find the Jerry Brown solid spectra in the 100lb to be excellent, particularly at the price.

Rohit Saqa Lal:
Hi mate, wallet is very light now I am surviving on my craft. The jerry brown and tuffline xp are pretty much on my short list. I previously bought some 100lb sufix for the shperos but It breaks at 20kg max, supposed to be 44kg so a bit shy now. The stupid suffix cost $200 for 600 yard spool and is thick as cord! Got burnt there

Who stocks the jerry brown?
