OK Bob, I went with the 7:1 Quantum Tour Edition, just as you suggested. I
had $80 in Cabelas points so it took some of the sting out of the pricetag.
Also decided to go with 50# Super Braid Stren. Will update with performance
report, I'm gonna heave some big SW's up there.

Thanks Again,

Warren

Thanks Bob, I've heard good things about Quantum lately. Are they small
low-profile reels or more "manly-sized"? My only concern is line
capacity. I'm thinking of going with 50-65# Stren Superbraid.

Its a low profile similar to the Accurist, but still look at the capacity.
125 yards of 12lb seems adequate. 50lb Super Braid is about the same
diameter as 12lb mono.

I am holding a spool of 65lb Super braid which reads 0.41mm that converts
to about .02 inches. I am guessing it will be about the same diameter as
a high quality 20lb mono.

Anyway... I am guessing 80-90 yards of 50lb should be no problem after
putting on 10+ yards of mono backing.

P.S. I have heard real good things about the Suffix braid, but I have not
had a chance to sample it yet. A quick check of their website shows about
the same diamters as the Stren.

I'll be tossing some very heavy (3/4 to 1 oz) spinnerbaits in a few
weeks, and I'm putting together a rig to throw them on. I bought a
Loomis SBR813C. Now I need the right reel & line to gain 1) Maximal
distance
2) Maximal retrieve speed
I need to burn these blades as fast as possible.

Any suggestions would be appreciated guys.


Well if retrieve speed is an issue obviously one of the newer 7:1 reels
would be the ticket.

The PT series in 7:1 looks like a good bet, and I have had very good
luck
with the PT reels, although I don't own a burner. I like the mag brake
if
for no other reason than its quickly and easily adjusted as needed.

As afar as distance. The smallest limpest line possible. My instinct
would
be to use 14# Suffix Seige. Its an incredibly good line and very limp
for a
mono that heavy. Obviously braid might give you heavier strength for
the
diameter, and Stren Super Braid is smooth enough to cast very well.
Still
knowing my own skills I would think I would launch a few spinner baits
into
orbit going for maximum distance with braid because it has no give.
Much
like your own experiences with flourocarbon line. The most minor catch,
backlash, or over run will cause the line to snap with such heavy baits.
Mono will give. In fact with such heavy baits I might even move upto 17
Seige, but one of your points was distance.

JMHO.
