I have the okuma safina pro spining reel. It said 10 pound and 180 yard. If I buy the 10 pound line here will it work?

Big Game line is very strong and used by lots of people that fish in Florida.

Yes, I believe it will. I use much heavier line for salt water fishing and I really like the trilene by Berkley.

yes, but if u use reel for fresh water suggest stren or trilene line. these lines are better suited for fresh water usage

The reel is for 7-9 wt line. I don't know specifically how much it weighs, but final weight will depend a lot on the line and backing you use. I do know that with an 150 ft of dacron backing and a sink-tip line, it is light enough to move the balance point of the rod forward somewhat compared to my son's metal reel.

Yes it will work on a 10 wt. but..... I had one on a 9 wt. rod with a DTF 9 wt. line with 75 yds. of 30 lb dacron backing and the reel was to full to function properly. I switched to using only 25 yds. of the 30 lb. backing and I no longer had issues. I am planning on switching the backing to 50 yds. of 20 lb. because at 25 yds. of backing I almost spooled out on a steelhead recently. Besides, 30 lb. line is overkill.

I use it with a CJF 65 spinning reel by Okuma and the combo works great. Much better for getting snappers out of the rocks than a conventional rig. Don't know the reel that you mentioned.

Go with the 6925, it has a 5.2:1 Gear Ratio, 7.2 oz weight and line capacity is 4/110, 6/90. I have this reel paired with a Fenwick HMX Ultra Light 7ft.Great combination!

That depends on what you're fishing for. I'd say it's okay for fish that go up to 30-40lbs. It's definitely not a big game reel. I use #60 gel spun line as backing with a WF8F line because of the small diameter. I can fit about 150 yards of it on the reel. In contrast, the Martin website lists capacity as 35 yards of #20 backing with the line I'm using. Note that I have four times as much. Any backing with a larger diameter might not allow you to load enough and put you in danger of getting spooled with energetic saltwater species. So I think gel spun is the only backing option if fishing saltwater with this reel.

The Nomad rod is a pretty heavy duty stick. With the lighter medium tip, it would work with the Baitfeeder 50a, but I would find it out of balance. (Over-rodded, under-reeled. A 7000-8000 size spinning reel is a good balance. I sometimes use a Penn Spinfisher 7500 on mine. For Conventional reels, a 30-50 size is about right. If you are set on using the Baitfeeder 50a, Okuma also offers a Nomad Xpress, which is the same rod blank, but lighter and smaller grips and hardware, and comes in a 20-40 line weight model, which would be about perfect. (only one tip, but a lot more reasonable $)

Landing the fish is only 50% of the equipment, the other 50% is the fisherman. The real is able to hande a 50 pound fish, depends on how good a fisherman you are. This is the second reel I purchased, it was for my brothers birthday, the first one was for me and both of us are loyalist when it comes to saltwater fishing. Yes it is a great buy and thanks for reminding me, I've got to get another one, you can never have too many of these reels.

If you select the "50-Pound/370-Yard" from the drop down menu and look at the description below it, it says 40lb/420yds which matches the line capacity of the 50LD according to PENN's site. It would be safe to assume the 50 in "50-Pound/370-Yard" is the reel size.

Very soft tip on this thing. I wouldn't go over 1 1/4 oz. I used 1 oz cast masters no problem with a wright and McGill 2500 saltwater reel and 20 pound Seaguar Kanzen braid.......casts a mile.

Its an awesome reel to use, I have 6kg on the reel and use it when trolling for Albacore tuna .

Well to be honest with you I fished in Daytona Beach over the summer I used 60 lb trilene big game for all of my line I didn't use any power pro my reel was a Penn senator 6/0 and it worked just fine I would use at least 100 to 150 yds of that for backing would be my guess just really enough to cover the spool over once or twice

Yes on the 50w okuma solterra you can fit 710 yards of 50lb mono, 600 yards of 60lb mono and 420 yards of 80lb mono do you would have no problem spooling that it would be cheaper to go with monofilament. This reel is a very large reel with a high line capacity

It is heavier than an ultra light reel. Just need to see if it balances well with the rod your using.

These are great covers. Well made and plenty of protection. I wish I could be sure of the size of cover for you. I use the large because my reals are the largest bait runners. I believe the mid size will suit your spinning reel. I hope this helps. You might like to visit Bass Pro for a hands on before you purchase.

i used 12lb on a recent trip to the Caribbean where i used the 4000 and it performed just fine. I was completely satisfied with the performance of this reel, also bought the 5000 which worked a little better for surf fishing because the casting ability of a larger set up for getting the bait out.

I choose this reel because I only fish for crappie and bluegill, and this reel has the quick-fire. I use 6lb test line but this reel will hold 2 and 4lb test it will hold 270 feet of 2lb and 140 feet of 4lb also I get the rear drag for more control when I get a bigger fish on. I choose this reel because they no longer make the Solstace 1000rh. I have always use Shimano. I have caught some very large catfish and bass with no problem.
