I bought a 6/0 size a few weeks ago , 17 lb. mono , love it ! Use it in the gulf of mexico , this reel can take the abuse , grouper , snapper , mackerel , kings ! Fun ,fun,fun ........so i ordered a 3/0 for inshore light line ,6-10 lb. for fishing the flats trout ,reds in my kayak , these are the smoothest reels I have ever used ....
