Can you use braided line for this rod if not what other type of line?

William - Braided line will absolutely work with this pole. I have two of them and I use braid. Do you have a question about using braid or just about using it on this pole? I use braid for the backing and then add a "TOP SHOT" of about 100 yards of mono on top of that. This way you get the best of both worlds... Plenty of line with the braid and a little bit of stretch with the mono. Caught a 40 Pd Kingfish yesterday.

both work but using a braided line will offer a significant advantage. You can spool more line in and the casting and retrieving will be much smoother. I use a 40 lb braided line on this reel which would equate to a 10 0r 12 mono. a braided line is more expensive but worth the money.

Black diamond lines are from.sweden but if u want the best line for this reel go with a braided spider wire. Reason being its not mono so it has no memory. Which makes it perfect for these reels. Also its extremely hard to break braided spider wire very awesome product... And its right here on Amazon woooooooo hope this helps ya and have fun me myself abu is the only reels for me and if u use that spidy wire youll feel the same. Good luck and Great fishing.

None - you shouldn't use that heavy of line in this lightweight reel.However, you could do what I do and use a braided line, which is much stronger than monofilament lines for the same diameter. I've got 6lb test Suffix braided line and it has a rated breaking strength of 20lbs, but the diameter of a typical 6lb test line (about the maximum diameter that should be used with this reel). The braided line costs 2-3x what a monofilament line would cost, but I figure it saved me much more than that in lost tackle, as I lost only two lures in a week's solid fishing and they both caught on the backside of heavy logs and frayed on the edge of the log.

Yes as long as you have the proper adapter. Some units come equipped with a limitation of the number of rods you can add on. As I do not know what kind of unit you have, I can't give you anymore information. If you can send me a photo and the unit model perhaps I can help you. I also have a couple of spare rod adapters cheap if you need one. Thanks Juan

No, I just fill it up with braid(Power Pro braid is the ONLY line I use on all my reels, both spinning and baitcasting. Since not more than a cast or so is 'in play', so to speak, the braid inside never gets worn out. If you feel like the braid that's going in & out is getting worn, you can always strip off a cast or two's length, then just tie on the braid still in your Power Pro spool with a double uni knot(google it)and fill the reel back up.

I use it with 80 pound braided line and it worked great. It has a tention screw that pretty much let's u adjust to any line.

I have two 9/0 Senators loaded with 450 yards of 60 lb. mono, so should be no problem with the braid. Rods are very nice and well made.

I guess you could do this with a coupler, but I would not do this as this could be a breaking point. I would look for a 8' rod and if you can't fine one that Hunter makes, then you might be able to use threaded pipe.

I use 20lb braid with a 6lb fluorocarbon leader. Check you tube for how to tie them together it works and casts very well. Thanks Dan...

I have a 20 pound braided test line. Power Pro or trilene works perfectly. .

As with most lines, some are slipprier than others. Braid is one that slips more often. The knots employed can be a key component in the equation. Not knowing which knots you employed makes it difficult. I have used the Palomar , Trilene, Uni knots with a fair amount of success. 8lb. Mono from Trilene which I have used extensively for many years, has not failed at the knot with the knots I have mentioned.

The ends of the rods are Male so your brush would have to be Female. I don't know what size threads they are. Frankly, the brush that comes with the kit works so well and goes around corners so well I wouldn't use any other.

I purchased this rod and am extremely happy with it but have not tried to get the ends off. I would assume you could though.

Not sure if you can use "any" braided cable, but if you use "easy heat cable" you must strip back the braid exposing the black inter sheath cut this off square and insert approx. 3/4 in into the 10802 connector close it down and tighten the screws. what this does is there is two sharp metal barbs inside this connector that puncture the black sheath and makes the electrical connection

Yes, if you cut it off the weft you can use it for braiding. It would probably shed less using it for braiding instead of for a sew-in like I did.
