I read it was thinner than jerrybrown, so a buddy of mine bought it for his international 130 and it doesn't lay as flat as jerry brown. Make sure you pack it as tight as possible and have a good skilled person with you to help with the coil of LP (can be a pain sometimes). I have had really good luck with the 200lb LP, great line for the money. You can use boghy's line calculator to find out exactly how much, just I found it is much more accurate if you keep everything standard (inches and yards) or in metric (mm's and metres).

Just make sure one person mans the coil and grab it at the right end. He has to uncoil it by hand while you reel, its tricky but can be done.
