2014 saltiga expedition 5500h
Chris Toops:
I managed to fit 301 metres of 65lb power pro on my 5500h and still left enough room for a 130lb shock leader. I'd reckon you would fit 350 metres of a quality 8 strand 70lb braid.
I'll be using mine for jigging and popping.

That question really makes sense. Now you mentioned it, I looked at the popping rod i bought (FCL Labo UC81 M) it actually states drag max is 14kg.
I'm still quite new in this popping scene and currently trying to build up a popping outfit slowly for my Maldives trip next month.
Thanks mate! :)

For most GT fishing in Maldives, 10 kgs is plenty enough. 15 would be way OTT.

Hey guys,
It really does look the goods doesn't it!
I'm thinking of loading one up with pe5-6 and throwing it on a light cast rod. Something like a temple reef stealth series for light gt work and also lobbing slugs into tuna schools. Maybe a little heavy for my local mack, long tail and yt. It just means I'll be able to skull drag a few over and get more fish before some idiot trolls a lure right through em and scares them off.
Cheers,
Rich
