[RL83]

hi all
just wanting to know whats the highest breaking stain mono you would
use on a 6500 mag elite for main line
i use 15lb F1 and 60lb shocker but could you use a heavier line straight
through with no shocker
iknow these reels are clean to mixed ground but are they just 20lb main line max line reels or could you use owt heavier
any help would be great lads!!

I wouldn't go passed 20lb mate if you want to use say 30lb straight through I would use a different reel. The 6500 is a good reel but better suited to clean / mixed ground. It's more for casting than dragging through kelp.

no point mate 30 lb straight throught u wouldnt get enough line on mate i wouldnt put any more than 18lb max

 

[RL83]

thats what i was thinking since ive never went any further than 18lb on my reels anyway
never fish the really rough stuff anyways im lucky if i get to shields pier
just thought i would ask anyways since this is a good site for answers
cheers lads for the advice! will be getting a slosh or summit like that
at chrimbo time

thats what u want slosh 30 30lb line straight through or i use a 30lb line and a 80 shocker with a bimini twist knot

 

[RL83]

aye always liked the slosh's slosh 20-30 im not sure but all the difference is
the spool size aint it mate? virtually if not identical on the inside i was told!

 

[big phil 123]

I wouldn't mate, it's an out and out chucking machine, 20lb max and that's if yer using thin dia line like f1, so you will need a shock

Just my preference like but I use 15 in easy conditions, 18 when it's moving a bit and 20 october onwards, f1 of course with 50lb shock

i use 60lb greased weasel just incase i find it hard to hold bottom with a 5oz
i mainly fish the tyne so thats all i need really
ive got some 18lb line in my tackle box anyway so im covered mate
thanks g.ordon

i use a line called awa shima i use its .30mm and rated at 30lb had no issues with it and its gettimg more and more popular. i sued to use f1 but i find as soon as it has been stretched its terrible.

just my opinion though so i moved to awa shima as it casts really well.

I've just took the side plate off my mag elite to clean out some sand is there a nack of getting it back on, do I need to connect the thin brass strip onto the mag control havant got a clue any help would be appreciated or it's the tackle shop
