Sam Phillips:
Thanks Mark, Ended up getting a Saragosa 10000 that u recommended earlier felt really nice I know it wont tame any brutes but hopefully do ok for a first trip and my local tackle shop gave me too good a price to resist. I can afford decent line and terminals, I was thinking maybe pe 6 or 8?

Mark Richie:
Go with pe6 mate. You'll get about 300 metres on that reel where as if you go with pe8, you'll struggle for line capacity to begin with and then be up shit creek if you get snapped off in a fight.

And you're basically wasting your time putting pe8 on that setup (I'm assuming you've gone the 15-24kg t curve travel?). You'll break the rod and burn out your drag before the line breaks.

Sam Phillips:
Sweet I'll pick up some pe6, yeh got the tcurve 15-24kg, it feels ok for a cheapo it says it can throw up to 200g lures but I think it's only going to be good for 100-110g size

Sam Phillips:
Hey mark, What pe ratings are Jerry Brown? im guessing their pe 6 is 80Lb in the solid core, I cant seem to find any info on their stuff.

Mark Richie:
If you're going JB, go the 65lb mate. According to the paulus just fishing site, it breaks at around 95lb and the 80lb breaks at around 120lb. Waaay too high breaking strain for your equipment.
