I have 100yrds of 20lb braided line( power pro ) that I use for backing with a full 90 ft WF3F line with room to spare.

Im running 12 off of 2 supplies. For full reels, figure on 6A each. The problem with supplying less is that most supplies will not self-limit. So the supplies will keep shutting down after a few minutes. I used computer power supplies which worked well though one is a bit loud. Hope this helps.

First I would have recommended a higher drag weight on the reel. It sounds like you want heavy fish, so I would go with the 300 yds. You also may want to consider going to 50 lb. line, between your rod and the drag you can handle some pretty large fish with this set up. Remember to balance you drag with the weight recommendation of the rod builder.

I choose this reel because I only fish for crappie and bluegill, and this reel has the quick-fire. I use 6lb test line but this reel will hold 2 and 4lb test it will hold 270 feet of 2lb and 140 feet of 4lb also I get the rear drag for more control when I get a bigger fish on. I choose this reel because they no longer make the Solstace 1000rh. I have always use Shimano. I have caught some very large catfish and bass with no problem.

Used 3/4" line. Would probably not be good to use a smaller line, but check the Rheem specifications and installation requirements.

the reel is the size of a heavy but the line is about a medium to medium heavy. I mounted mine on my sling-bow and the line snapped when I forgot to hit the release button. luckily I was able to fish my arrow out with my rod. lol hope this helped.

Use the slv 7/8 reel. The wieght of the reel needs to be in balance with the wieght of the rod to make casting and handling the rod and reel more truer and m or effieicnet. That goes for the wieght of the line too. If you're concerned aboput amount of line or strength, add a little more backing for lentght and go to a heavier leaders to the fly.

Alot sorry for the vague answer depending on the thickness of the line guess hundreds of yards, I have not even gotten to the bottom of the reel with the line that comes with it.

I own 3 of the 30's and find them perfect for medium-light applications (trolling for crappies, small mouth bass etc) this reel is well made and has a smooth drag system... however limited spool capacity ! I think the 40 or 50 would be a better choice for you.

I used 14.3 wire (100 feet) and that filled the reel and was stong enough. The reel for 12.3 may work for up to 75 feet but not 100.

I use 4lb test on my #20 reel, 10 & 15 lb test line is too large for this reel.

Nothing but I ordered another extra spool so I could easily switch to a higher or lower pound line. But that is from another site was like $20. But I have landed 5-7 pound salmon with 8lb line on this reel no problem.

Very soft tip on this thing. I wouldn't go over 1 1/4 oz. I used 1 oz cast masters no problem with a wright and McGill 2500 saltwater reel and 20 pound Seaguar Kanzen braid.......casts a mile.

The spool is 3". I used it for the first time last Monday on my 4wt. It works great. Caught some very nice trout 18-22" and the drag works great.

You should have no problem with 2.2. mm line. I used leaded line (.687 mm) recently and the counter worked perfectly. Good fishing!!

On the company's web site it states the reel will fit up to 150 ft with a 5/8 hose or 100 ft with a 3/4 hose. They also sell an extra capacity kit for $20 which increases the size to 225 ft for 5/8 or 175 ft for 3/4.
