noelguyau Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hey, Just wanted to get your thoughts on what line class to put on this reel......Should I go a good 80lb braid and get poss 500-600m cap...or just go all out and put 1000m of 50lb braid all round. Some feedback and know how would be appreciated. Noel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mako2000 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 What are you planning on using it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish87su Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Ive never come across any tiagras with braid.. If you're using it for trolling I'd put 24kg mono on it Cheers Su Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game spin Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 They are built for using mono buddy 50 lb is what most people use, if you were to use braid you would probably get 2-3kms on it. Let us know how you go with the braid I've never heard if it before but anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelguyau Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yeah, I was going to use it for trolling, I have always used mono in the past...but am interested to hear most are still using mono...Food for thought i guess. Unless someone can give me a good reason not to (ie: you need the stretch of mono, color of the braid will deter fish when trolling ect)I will give it a try.

Marcel Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 15kg mono tiagra 30. 24kg mono tiagra 50. 37kg mono tiagra 80 that's my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdCain Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Note that the Shimano Tiagra 50WLRSA (as opposed to the standard 50WA), has a drag designed to fish 80lb line. This means that the drag profile will be more suited to 80lb tackle (it has the same/similar drag setup as the 80WA). My discussions with Welsey's tackle (http://www.wellsystackle.com/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=698), is that you should only get the LRS (Long Range Special), if you intend to fish 80lb. Sounds like that is what you are intending to do anyway. Cheers, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
