How much 60lb or 50lb Mono to use as backing for 300 yds of 80lb Power Pro Super 8 Slick,on a Penn reel. 345yds/80lb braided line max capacity.

Well to be honest with you I fished in Daytona Beach over the summer I used 60 lb trilene big game for all of my line I didn't use any power pro my reel was a Penn senator 6/0 and it worked just fine I would use at least 100 to 150 yds of that for backing would be my guess just really enough to cover the spool over once or twice

You can load your reel with the Power Pro first, tie in the mono and top off the reel. Now spool the mono that is on top off to another reel or whatever spool you have lying around. This leaves the braid on the bottom of the reel you will fish with. Take the braided line off the reel and replace it with the mono.Now tie the braided line to the mono and wind it back onto the reel. It should fit perfectly. This works great if you have several reels to fill that are all the same size. One reel simply reverses onto the next reel. Hope this helps, have fun. Jim

Yes you can. Personally I use 50lbs braid on my Millionaire, and that's about like 12lbs mono. Works very well and casts pretty far especially on my 12 foot surf rod.

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 can not address your question properly, but, I use this reel for steelhead and salmon fishing in the Pacific Northwest, rivers and bays. I use 20 pound braided and I have not been spooled yet.

I use Power Pro Braided, It's smaller in Diameter and the 50lb test is great for Striper and Muskie. Don't forget a metal lead if your thinking about toothed fish though.

I use the 600LC with braid trolling for bass with no problems so far. Set your drag right since there is very little stretch. I have a ten foot mono shock leader.On the 800 LC I use stainless wire and have caught plenty of bass and blues with no problemsGood luck

If you want really thick line that only holds 45 pounds then sure. Better to stick with powerpro man. Made that same mistake

This is a large reel and easily accommodates the 350 yards of 80lb braid I have on mine currently. I would say that 250-300+ yards of 30lb mono could be spooled onto this reel.

Just got this reel, the box says it's rated for 710 of 50lb. It's a big wide reel. I ordered a 1,000 yards of of 100 lb braid and it held most of it. I'd say it will hold 500 of 50 lb. mono easy.

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.

I fish Muskie and I run Cortland 36 Lb. braided dacron with no problems. Have been using this reel since the 1980's. Good heavy duty reel.

I'm using 10lb Cajun Line Mono in a 6-14lb Shimano spinning rod. works good on large fish, but I'm not at a place to surf fish.

I just purchased an ABF 50 and I purchased a 300 yard roll of Power Pro 30 lb (which is suppose to be the same diameter as 8 lb mono). I also purchased a bass pro brand 8lb mono line for backing. The Avenger ABF 50 says that it can hold 440 yards of 10 lb line So I used a bunch of calculations to see how much backing I needed. It was all for nothing.I kept having too much backing and the braided line was pushed all the way out to the very edge of the spool. I took ALL of the backing off and 300 yards of Power Pro 30 lb braid (green) fits perfectly!So in recap, ABF 50 = 300 yards of Power Pro 30 lb braided line with no backing.

When you look at the specification sheet it shows that you can go from 4lb. test mono on the 20a all the way to 30lb. test mono on the 90a. You can use braid like I do on the 40a and 50a. 40 lb test Power Pro braid is the same diameter as 10lb. test monofilament. I use my Avenger Abf series when I am surf or pier fishing for Red fish on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Hope this answer helps as it has been a long day and I'm not thinking very clearly. Lol

I recommend the 10lb on the Trio 30s and 12lb on the Trio 40s. Spider Wire Ultra Cast monofilament is a good choice of line. 12lb test has the diameter of 8lb test & the 10lb test has the diameter of 6lb test which increases casting distance. Reel size depends on species you are fishing for, 30s great for Bass, trout, etc. 40s is better for bigger fish 10-20lb fish, keep in mind 40s has a 20lb drag system. Hope this helps.

I haven't even put line on mine yet (it did not come pre-spooled) but at the base of the rod it says " 8' 6" Downrigger Med Heavy Line Wt. 8-20 lbs."The reel lists the following capacities " 18/460 20/355 25/275 " . Like I say I haven't used it but it seems like a quality combo. I especially like the depth counter on the reel which I wasn't expecting.

Medium size spinning reel, something you can use 4-8 lb line on... this is the best rod I've ever owned
