50VSW and spectra

What maximum test spectra would suit a Penn 50VSW and what should be used on a 30VSW?

I have a 30VSW with 130 Jerry Brown Hollow Core Spectra.

I have around 300yds of 80lbs Dacron and then spooled the rest of the way with 80lb Clear Ande Mono on my 50VSW. On your 30VSW I would put 500yds of 60lb Dacron or Spectra and then fill it with 50lb mono. I have my 30SW's spooled with 750yds of 40lb momoi Hi-Vis, no backing. IMHO, I'd try and get another 50W to replace the 30 though. I spooled my 30's like that for back up just incase.

Good Luck
