can I use a 5/6 replacement spool on my 8/9 slv reel? Should I just buy the 5/6 reel for my 6 weight instead of trying to use my 8/9 slv from my 8 wt

No. You can not interchange sizes of spools. What you can do is us a larger reel on a smaller rod. I personally would get a new reel for my smaller rod. This will help keep from confusing the line sizes. Choosing a reel is more about the fish you are fishin for and how big the rod frame is. Large fish that are big runners go up a reel size. For less athletic fish a smaller reel is fine.

I am using 12 mono line. It really all depends on your rod. Just go with the recomended on the reel and rod they should be printed somewhere on there.

I use the 600LC with braid trolling for bass with no problems so far. Set your drag right since there is very little stretch. I have a ten foot mono shock leader. On the 800 LC I use stainless wire and have caught plenty of bass and blues with no problems Good luck

Good choice on the reel for the species your are fishing. You can spool it with the 12lb test Spider Wire which has the diameter of 8lb test. You will not be sacrificing yardage at all which the smaller diameter line. 30s is a great reel, my favorite size for fishing the Florida Flats is the 3000 series reels. Enjoy!!!

I use 6 Lb test for trout and bass. Seems to work well, have had no issues with knotting or tangling. Love the reel very smooth and fast.

I am not sure. The way I knew what spool to buy was I kept the Instruction Manual and that's what listed replacement items. Try looking online at www.blackanddecker.Com for the answer. Key search your item and I'm sure you will find the answer.

Well then you WAY overpaid. The Okuma quality to price ratio is phenomenal. Figuring out which reel is which is a pain in the posterior, but a few minutes on the Okumafishing.com website straightens it out. The 170/50 is actually the SLV-10/11 not a the SLV-9/10. You learn this through process of elimination. The Okuma site lists the SLV-10/11 as taking 520 yards of #30 backing.

I have a WORX GT155. In the Amazon catalog, there is shown a GT156, and right next to it , under Frequently Bought Together, are the same size six reels of spool replacements. Hope this helps.

Best to go online and check on the Okuma website. Also there many other sites can will tell you.My best guess is that the reel is for a 4 or 5 weight rodHere's a Amazon 5 star rating review on the reel review : OKUMA SLV Reels, February 16, 2011 By RobertoThis review is from: Okuma SLV Diecast Aluminum Fly Reel (Sports) I bought an OKUMA SLV 4/5 for my 4 weight rod after a friend recommended it and it is awsome. Very smooth.Now if you buy from Amazon read below, go to the OKUMA site first to figure out which reel size you need.

I own two trio 40's. They are relatively small for size 40 reels. A size 30 or even a 20 though would be better for 8lb line.

I've flyfished for over 40 years and couldn't make heads or tails out of these designations until I got a look at a chart that listed the maximum length of the backing line (yds.) and its breaking point (lbs. - relating directly to its diameter). Obviously, the copy writer didn't have a clue about what's actually relevant here. Here are the identifications: The 50/12 denotes the SLV reel sized to hold a #2 or #3 weight fly line and weighs 4.5 ozs. The 95/12 reel is sized to hold a #4 or #5 weight fly line and weighs 4.8 ozs. The 140/20 reel is sized for a #5 or #6 weight fly line and weighs 5.3 ozs. The 145/20 reel is sized for a #7 or #8 weight fly line and weighs 5.5 ozs. The 150/30 reel is sized for a #8 or #9 weight fly line and weighs 6.1 ozs. The 170/50 reel is sized for #9 and #10 weight fly line These are great reels at an average 10% discount with no shipping charges through Amazon. If you can match your fly rod(s) to one of these and achieve a good point of balance* when the backing and fly line are loaded on the reel, one of these should do just fine. * Place an extended index finger under the rod handle at a 90 degree angle just ahead of the reel. Slowly move it forward until the combination of rod and reel come to rest on your finger with no assistance from your other hand - perfect balance. This point should ideally be located on the handle or a few inches up the rod just ahead of the position where you would comfortably grip the rod while casting. Good luck and good fishing!

I honestly don't know what the reel's capacity is with 40 lb. Power Pro. In my opinion you should play it safe and go with a 300-yard spool. A 150 yard spool may be enough but I'm a firm believer that overkill beats underkill. Spool it up as tight as you can, too.

Just search on Amazon for "trimmer line .080". Any of those spools of line with size .080" that are "Round" should work. Most of them are round, but there are a few that are "square". Just make sure in the description that it states the .080" line is round.

Hi Stephen, I use .090 inch line in mine, and is real easy to wind the line on to the spool. You will like this one.

The model no of the spool that I purchased for it is 88512. I am sorry I bought the trimmer though, because it is impossible for me to install a new spool on it. Because it is a dual spool, one line goes one way and the other goes the other way. I just had my 55 y.o.son try to do it for me and he could not do it either. So now I have a trimmer and 2 spools that I can't use. Excuse the venting. You didn't ask how I liked it, but had to get it out.

Yes, I did replace mine with thicker line with no problem using the original reel.
