Hi folks,

Be recieving my Caldia KIX 4000 sometimes next week ( early Xmas present for me ;) ).
Would like some advise on the line class, i am spool it Braided line, not to sure what line class should i get, here are my options.....
1. 20# Test at a 6# Diameter (500 Yards)
2. 30# Test at a 8# Diameter (500 Yards)
3. 50# Test at a 12# Diameter(500 Yards)

Fishing Location = Piers, boat charter, light surf.

Running mine with 30lb - sometimes not enough fishing SPs offshore but more worried about the rod than the reel.

30lb is that around 8lb diameter???
I dont do offshore fishing that much so it won't be a problems for me...beside i only use a fiberglass rod 8-10KG, will upgrade to a better rod when i have the $$$$.

Cheers :)

The Kix can handle a fair bit of drag for a little reel, but no point overloading it if you are only fishing inshore without the need to put the brakes on bigger fish. 20lb should cover most things.
