Fishing line on abu garcia 6500 c3 - Catfish Angler Forum at USCA
Mar 15, 2007 · The size line you put on your reel has to be related to the type of fishing you do. If you fish from a boat 20-40 if fine. If you only bank fish and need max distance, then 20-40 will not do it for you. I bank fish in the Mississippi around the Alton Dam with 12' rods and 7000C3's, so I need distance and with advice from Tiny, I spool with ...

Comparing fishing line and leader line...a test.
Jul 30, 2020 · The Trilene Big Game leader line runs about 10.00 for 55 yards of 50 lb....the Trilene Big Game fishing line 50 lb runs about 7.00 for 275 yards.

Dec 29, 2009 · 3650 posts · Joined 2005. #19 · Dec 30, 2009 (Edited) The Abu 6500 is rated to hold 245 yards of 14lb line. With 50lb mono, you will only get maybe 60-80 yards on the spool.

Fishing line - best pound test for catfishing

Second match the outfit to the size fish you are targeting and the type of water you are fishing. This I mean if you are fishing heavy timber or around rocks you will want to beef it up ...

What type of Fishing Line is best for fishing for big catfish?
Aug 12, 2006 · 1532 posts · Joined 2005. #4 · Aug 13, 2006. I use Big Game 15 and 20 lb. My leader is 30lb. If I caught fish over 25 lbs consistently, I'd probably go to at least a 50 lb leader. The main reason for heavier lines isn't so much that the fish is going to break the line, but often catfish are found where there's a lot of structure. The abrasion ...
