Tiagra question

mannyc · 02-21-2007, 01:23 PM

I have 80lb on my 50wlrs now. I want to switch it out. I know the line ?capacities for mono. But I want to switch it out to 130lb JB. Anyone know the line capacity for 130 JB on the 50W? I want to top shot it too. Or is this over kill?

Any better suggestion will also be appreciated.

750yd of JB with 25yd top shot.No it is not over kill

Right on the dot

Tek did mine and it has 650yds. of 130 J.B. and 180yds. of 80#'s top shot

I use to use a short(75 yard) 80# topshot to 130# JB and with Tek removed the topshotwhen i respooled. Without it you get about 825-850 yards of the 130JB with a windon with good clearance.

Sorry, fast fingers. I only use 130# as the 80# JB with heavy drag is a BEAR on the hands and will cut you for sure...DUKE

Thanks, guy. Do you know anywhere in West Palm that spools JB? I checked at Grand Slam and Lotts and they don't deal JB.

The 130# sounds the way togo then.

Grand slam i think carries it.

I know a place that has it

If you want to max out your line capacity and still use a Windon Leader (know where to get those too). You are looking at about 833 yards of 130#JBHC connected to a your windon.

If you just want to add line capacity BUT still fish mono, here's an option. 550 yards of 130#JBHC and a 150 yard topshot of 80# momoi Diamond (Breaks over 100#). This still leaves "goof room" and for a windon leader.

There are MANY reasons to spool up with Hollowcore Spectra! Just find the reason that works best for your situation.
