i did forget to mention one thing: i'm not using the fishing line for actual fishing. its for beading, so what LB do i need?

Beading as in making necklaces? Anything will work for that. I'm not sure I know what beading you are talking about.
629075
In the last sentence it is not head but bead size that is a determinant. The correcting feature of the typewriting system is a bother.
629076
Frankly, I don't know what "LB"means. My wife uses my fishing line for beading and other arts and crafts uses. 10 to 25 lb rated line seems to be what she favors. Head size and the hole size are also determinants of what size line used.

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

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

I would not trust a rod for a reel this heavy that was more than 2 pieces. Ebay had a couple of rods for around $80 last time I looked. Stay with graphite instead of fiberglass.

Couldn't tell ya? I sent mine back because it failed on me the second time I fished with it. I had the 6935 but I can't remember the line capacity - sorry!

I use 30lb braid as the main line with a variable leader to suit what type of fishing I am doing

It all depends on the size of the tuna that show up. If you want to use a heavy line use a braided line with a mono backing. The line will b small diameter high lb weight. I keep 40 on mine works for me.

I've flyfished for over 40 years and couldn't make heads or tails out of these designations until I got a look at a chart that listed the maximum length of the backing line (yds.) and its breaking point (lbs. - relating directly to its diameter). Obviously, the copy writer didn't have a clue about what's actually relevant here. Here are the identifications: The 50/12 denotes the SLV reel sized to hold a #2 or #3 weight fly line and weighs 4.5 ozs. The 95/12 reel is sized to hold a #4 or #5 weight fly line and weighs 4.8 ozs. The 140/20 reel is sized for a #5 or #6 weight fly line and weighs 5.3 ozs. The 145/20 reel is sized for a #7 or #8 weight fly line and weighs 5.5 ozs. The 150/30 reel is sized for a #8 or #9 weight fly line and weighs 6.1 ozs. The 170/50 reel is sized for #9 and #10 weight fly line These are great reels at an average 10% discount with no shipping charges through Amazon. If you can match your fly rod(s) to one of these and achieve a good point of balance* when the backing and fly line are loaded on the reel, one of these should do just fine. * Place an extended index finger under the rod handle at a 90 degree angle just ahead of the reel. Slowly move it forward until the combination of rod and reel come to rest on your finger with no assistance from your other hand - perfect balance. This point should ideally be located on the handle or a few inches up the rod just ahead of the position where you would comfortably grip the rod while casting. Good luck and good fishing!

It does not come with line loaded on it. I've found 25lb. and lighter line to work the best for shore fishing and casting. The heaviest recommended is 30lb. Length of line depends on thickness.

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

I have 20 lb test line on reel but could have increased that...also rod is one piece and I believe more sturdy than two....the skill is with the handler...my goal is striped bass...must be minimum 28 inches and I use it as a saltwater surf rod so it should handle over 25 lbs

The rod will work, you will need 40 lb test line to maintain fish of 20 lb without breaking line. Graphite is a very strong material, pole has a medium flex. It depends on how you fish.

I think the 30 will handle most of those needs. The drag system is excellent. I can run 10 and 12 pound line on it fine. If your averaging monster fish consistantly you may think about the 40. But ive had no problem yet, and I only fish rivers.

It depends on the weight of the fish you are trying to catch. Lbs refers to the breaking strength of the line. A line rated 6 lbs should not break untill 6 pounds of pressure on the line. So a line rated 20 lbs should not break untill 20 pounds of pressure. The knot used reduces the strength of the line. Certain knots are stronger than others. Using 6 lbs test line, you can catch bigger fish than 6 pounds. You set the drag on your reel so when the drag is set, you can still pull line out without breaking the line. A big fish will get worn out pulling on your drag, and the rod will help you tire out the fish. The world record for Black Marlin on 6 lbs test line is 735 lbs 3 oz. So, there is no clearcut answer. If you are going to catch fish 5 to 20 lbls, then 5 to 10 lb test would be good.

It includes the spear and line. No real is required. I just used it 3 days ago and got a decent sized fish. It packs a punch when you pull the trigger so don't fire it close to your face. Make sure to stay clear of rocks though. Bent the tip of my spear on my last shot.

I use 25Ib braid, works well for me, really depends on what your fishing for, reel can handel a wide range.

Line depends on what model you buy. Here's a quick reference for monofilament line capacity: ABF-30 330/6#, 260/8#, 180/10#. ABF-40 410/8#, 290/10#, 260/12#. ABF-50 440/10#, 390/12#, 280/15#. ABF-65 540/12#, 390/15#, 320/20#. See okumafishing.com for additional info.

I agree with the last response. This is very thick and difficult to use, yet very similar to fishing line which would be much less expensive.
