How much 40lb mono do you think a 6/0 reel will hold....(spec's say 475yds of 50lbs)

Also how much difference do you think there is between 40lb & 50lb mono........the reason I am asking is because I can not find anyone in B'ham Al. that carries the bigger spools of 50lb mono(enough to fill my spool) I can only find 40lbs and below. I thought about ordering it online but I am afraid it will not get here in time for my trip to Panama City in a few days.

if u have a bass pro or any sporting good store around they will usually spool it for you.

Joey,

We got the Basspro on I-20 exit 144. The other end of 459 from ya.

That reel can handle 554yds of 40lb mono. They charge ya for spooling by the yard.

I called Bass Pro Shop and they have a master spool of 50lb mono so I am going there today and get both of my reels fill up. I don't understand why they do not carry bigger spools of the heavier line in their saltwater fishing section !

Thanks for the help guys
