I got a full spool of 4wt on mine. But...there is NO room for backing. Works great!

I put about 50-60 feet on mine, I was down south 2 weekends ago and used it in a large pond and had plenty line, caught great red ear, reel did great.

From the Amazon description: "...Capacity double line: 440 lbs Capacity single line: 220 lbs Line feed: 38 Ft/Min." If you double the line, it will lift at 19 F/M. 38 F/M. I see maybe a 10% reduction under a 300 lb. load.

Yes this is a 6ft 6in fly rod. It is labeled as a 3/4wt rod. I was able to cast it with a 3,4,and 5wt line. I found the 4wt to be just right for my style of casting. 3wt was light. 5 was a tad heavy. It's a great rod for the money. Tons of fun to fish with!

I think the 30 will handle most of those needs. The drag system is excellent. I can run 10 and 12 pound line on it fine. If your averaging monster fish consistantly you may think about the 40. But ive had no problem yet, and I only fish rivers.

I've used mine on trout upto 23-24 inches. I've even pulled a 5 lb catfish out of the river with it. I use a pflueger presidents series reel on it and love it. Like it so well I bought a second one. One set with 4 lb test and one with 6.

The manufacturer does not specify how much weight it can hold. Installed correctly each line can be utilized. You should assume lighter weighted linens are best.

Ok I just went out and looked at then D rings, they look strong enough to hold a 5lb. anchor and will hold you and the float tube in a brisk wind. I should get an anchor myself as I had a couple of issues last season on our lake where I had to peddle fairly hard against a breeze to get back to shore. I'm considering a small extended propeller I can operate with and battery powered drill. On the main bladder question. I used my compressor and blower attachment with the rubber tip. Pressed it in to the valve stem and pressed the release and blew it up in seconds. The compressor was at 75lbs. I hope this helps.

I've flyfished for over 40 years and couldn't make heads or tails out of these designations until I got a look at a chart that listed the maximum length of the backing line (yds.) and its breaking point (lbs. - relating directly to its diameter). Obviously, the copy writer didn't have a clue about what's actually relevant here. Here are the identifications: The 50/12 denotes the SLV reel sized to hold a #2 or #3 weight fly line and weighs 4.5 ozs. The 95/12 reel is sized to hold a #4 or #5 weight fly line and weighs 4.8 ozs. The 140/20 reel is sized for a #5 or #6 weight fly line and weighs 5.3 ozs. The 145/20 reel is sized for a #7 or #8 weight fly line and weighs 5.5 ozs. The 150/30 reel is sized for a #8 or #9 weight fly line and weighs 6.1 ozs. The 170/50 reel is sized for #9 and #10 weight fly line These are great reels at an average 10% discount with no shipping charges through Amazon. If you can match your fly rod(s) to one of these and achieve a good point of balance* when the backing and fly line are loaded on the reel, one of these should do just fine. * Place an extended index finger under the rod handle at a 90 degree angle just ahead of the reel. Slowly move it forward until the combination of rod and reel come to rest on your finger with no assistance from your other hand - perfect balance. This point should ideally be located on the handle or a few inches up the rod just ahead of the position where you would comfortably grip the rod while casting. Good luck and good fishing!

I am using monofilament 50 lb line and is working very well. You can go with less powerful line if you're fishing for smaller fishes.

It can handle the weight, but barely fits my salt water rods. Gotta stagger the reels but its not a big deal.

I bought it because it floats. As to how much it can pull, I would say it depends on the diameter of the rope.

The float is 4 foot wide with rounded ends. It is the easiest bull float to use.

If it's mono line it would hold 150-175 yds in Suffix Brand lines, these lines have thinner diameter than other brand lines of the same stren. Braid would hold 300yds. Other brand mono lines would hold 125yds top.
298127
Braided line capacity at 100lb test holds 1,150yds of line, and at 80lb test, it holds 1,350yds. Mono line capacity at 50lb test holds 560yds, and at 80lb test, it holds 360yds.

the highest braid capacity recommended for this reel is 30lb and you can put 205 yards on this reel. According to Penn website.

Yes, this is a weight-forward, floating line. It's a 90 foot line, so use plenty of backing just in case you get a fighting lunker!
