I tried it on one and I would have to say no, the reals I bought from cabelas would be a better fit for that, forgot model number

I used the arrow T50 5/16 8mm rustproof. Fill it 3/4 full. It works fine up to 10mm.

You will need to use a lead in hose in most cases. What size are your current hoses?

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 have 500' of 100lb Dacron on my reel. Yes, it 'could' hold probably another 100-150', but I wouldn't want it that full. I prefer to have an open edge on the spool.

You need to determine what size holes are in beads you are using so the line will fit obviously. Next criteria would be how strong you want it to be. Berkley gives their line diameters as .011" diameter for 8# test, up to .044" diameter for 130# test. There are numerous choices in-between those 2 sizes. Their website will give more details. http://www.berkley-fishing.com/Berkley%C2%AE-Trilene%C2%AE-Big-Game%E2%84%A2/1285546,default,pd.html#start=1

100 should be sufficient for a 3 foot tree depending on the density strung at. They are a pleasing blue color, not purple.

Id recommend going with a surefire or maglite xl 100 or others in that group. 1 inc diameter goes perfect on almost all rails

I bought them for wire leader. I also found them too large and bought a pair of electrical strippers/crimpers that worked great. I was doing light work with 10 pound test and small #2 barrel crimps.

best check with Oregon for the correct file size. They spec at least 2 different diameter files for .325 pitch chains

I use .105 line and it's a little tight so although I've never tried the heavier lines, I suspect .115 is the correct number.

The Tru plex is great for a .22 caliber @ 100 yards but I don't shoot much further than that.I also went with the Centerpoint from Walmart 3x9 (mil dot). I actually got a chart to use which uses distance vs windage and drop. But, then again, I don't shoot much further than 100 yards.

With a semi-good scope, you should get consistent 3 inch or less groupings at 100 yards. I have a Norinco M4 modified SKS and shot groupings under 3 inches with good loads.

I would have thought it held allot more line, than is stated, because it is a freakishly large reel! It is not stated, but I am sure this the box is quoted as standard Monofilament Line. & FYI: Gear Ratio is 4.9:1Boca PTs 80 - Line Capacity is: 420 Yards / 17 lb. test, 330 yds / 20 lb., 265 yds. / 25 lb. So, if you are like me and plan to use braided line as the core line and mono leaders, then you'll get allot more yardage of line on the spool. If you need a reel case, I recommend the size "LARGE" Shimano Neoprene reel cover.

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 problems Good luck

It's not so much a must but it does give you more useable lead for a longer period of time. The lead is strong enough to take a long point without breaking while still being quite smooth.if you like writing, try the Blackwing Pearl or 602. They both have slightly harder lead thats still very smooth but keeps a point much longer.

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
