which reel would best suit 50lb line

[Benny01]

my mate is taking me fishing for bullsharks soon and i have a spool of 50lb braid that i wouldnt mine using as i probably wouldnt use it for anything else.
which reels would it be best suited to.

I have a
* shimano baitrunner 6500
* stradic 8000
* penn spinfisher 850

[breamnut]

bait runner

Penn Spinfisher 850. I use 24kg on mine and it works a treat. They were built bullet proof but are a bit agricultural by many of todays standards. Run the HT 100 Drag washer dry with a touch of grapgite if you want max drag. I run mine wet with a little Erskine grease and can pull 8kg with no worry.

They must be some BIG Bullies to be chasing with that sort of gear. Most people use 10kg.

30lb - Baitrunner

50lb - Spinfisher, Spheros/Saragosa

I don't know Benny. I qam yet to hear any problems with the newer Spinfishers but everyone is a bit cautious about them. This might be a great test for them
