G,day fisho,s.
I,ve just bought a pair of penn spinnfisher, 650 and 850. will use them on 7 foot livefiber blanks.I will be using the 650 with 6 to 8 kg tossing slices and the odd bit of trolling baiting.On my baitcasters i love fireline,i,m wondering if mono or braid is the go.?type/brand size colour/ The 850 will be used as more of a heavy 10 kg spin for macs ,trev,s and marlin or what ever happens to fall victim to my offering.What mono or braid would be the go.??? brands / size/colour ??? Like i said I,m a big fan of firerline,I like good stuff.
regards big george.
I'm dabbling with some 30lb Bionic on my spin outfit. Not caught enough to give a decent report as yet but wait for those longtails to turn up.Before that I was fishing Platypus Platinum.
Used fireline on my smaller spin outfit and it "feathered" very quickly, which I didn't like.
struth george you'll want some backing or a personal loan. The 6500 will easily take 400m+ of braid to spool for casting - the 8500 600m+.
And have your drag set & well maintained to 1/3 cause braid isn't as forgiving nylon when the speedsters hit. Myself, I use Berkley Trilene (nylon) for the job. I only use braid for trolling, not enough $$$ to do otherwise.
g'day fellas i use mono on all my rods although have tried braid and its good but bloody expensive . The other reason iuse mono is that i grew up using that and iam used to it and like chris said if u get a big hit and the fish takes off like a bat out of hell it can snap just like that .
Try using platinum or pink they are both good lines.
I'm a big fan of braid and use on plenty of my outfits. However, when it comes to a large reel for throwing slugs I prefer mono, usually Super 100. Think its a bit more invisible in the water when dragging through schools of fish.
hi john
i use fire line in flame green.
14 pound[breaks at over 30] in the creeks with 45 pound leader. In the dam[faust] 20 pound[over 40] with 2 meters of 70 pound schnider,still lost a few ,cutting the leader.Tie small dubble[ 25-30 turn bim] attach leader with a reverse albright. Don,t use snaps,attach lure with loop knott Swano used 40 pound spider wire at the begining of the trip[ approx 2 yaers old] i was prety impressed.After a few lost fish and shorting in the faust timber he used 20 pound fireline[manly because i had a 1000 yard spool]
mates just turned up to take my 9 year old boy and my self fishing ,gotta go [cod spinning]
catch ya regards george

Thought you must have been away by the times that show on your posts, some great cod amongst that lot would love to catch a decent cod have caught a small one about 10 years ago now in the Condamine River it went 4lb but a bigger one would be great will have to get around to it one day, hope all is well and keep up the good work.
The 850 will be used as more of a heavy 10 kg spin for macs ,trev,s and marlin or what ever happens to fall victim to my offering.What mono or braid would be the go.??? brands / size/colour ???
