this ones gettin the alan tani drag and handle upgrade. question...what to spool it with i already have 1 900h spooled with like 550-600yds of 50lb ande with a 125-150yds of 100lb topshot. was thinkin of trying a different approach with this reel. suggestions?
i have one with a alan tank drag upgrade and i loaded it with 1000yds of 100lb braid then 150yd topshot of 125 bull buster never been spooled and i fight at about 30lbs of drag starting off then tighten down as the spool gets lower and never had a problem
how much did the braid run ya? ive looked around and seems itll cost 300 bucks or so to load it with braid and i dont know if i feel comfortable droppin that much just on line right now lol

this is the braid i use its 8 strand compared to 4 strand that power pro uses and most braid company uses and honestly its great braid I've tested the breaking strength and got to 121lbs before it broke on 100lb rated braid. Its got no brand name but boggy showed me this stuff and i haven't had a problem at all with it and boggy has been using it for years its good braid and we both believe its made by a company who makes brand name braid but also sells it on the side without the name. good stuff not too expensive and holds up also cuz its 8 strand if 1 strand break its at 7/8 strength instead of 3/4. good stuff got to my house in 14 days seeing as its coming from japan but that company makes it themselves and sells it on ebay. I also love my davis rod that i got from ebay very well built and very strong never had a problem with either and both work great hope this helps guaranteed you won't be disappointed with either buy cuz i haven't
thanks man for the link. hopin this braid is some good stuff but 62 bucks i can take a gamble i guess 
i checked into those davis rods and see some 100-130lb standard guides for under 100 bucks? kinda crazy how long have you had yours and how has it held up to the big boys?

Was reading into the braid on ebay and dont see it state that its 8strand??? Just curious thats all
Only the 2x is 8 strand I actually have some heree and have unwoven it after a lot and I do mean a lot of messing.with it lol it should say somewhere on there if not check on the other 2x listings and ya davis rods are great I was really impressed and took the gamble since the low price and it is well worth the money 1 yr warranty no mater what happens to it slam it in car or shark breaks it and ut holds up well had 8ft + lemon pier side half out of the water thrashing and barely bent it I have the 100-140 standard guides and love it and honestly can't see it breaking anytime soon shit is strong!!!!!!!!!
