[longbow]

What size reel should I use for leadcore.  I have 100yds of 10 color lc, braid backing, and 20lb leader.  thanks

 

PS  I have a choice of Penn 209's, 309's or Okuma Magd Pro 30's.

What did you come up with and what type of core did you decide to go with?? Thanks for any info. PAP

I used one of my old Okuma Magda Pro's size 30 that worked perfect.  Used braid for backing about 200 yds of I think it was 40 lb.- 10 color-100yds of lead core made by Kastking, and 15lb kastking flouro carbon, used 50 ft for the leader.  I used and albright knot for the connection between backing and leadcore, and a willits knot for flouro leader to leadcore.  thanks

I have a 30 series cabelas real same setup. Went with a bigger reel for the second setup

47’s work well for 27lb leadcore with mono backing...

 okuma magda pro 45 works good you can even do a 300 copper on it also.

I tried an okuma 45 for 300 copper and it would not fit. Used about 25 feet mono on the spool, then 300 feet 65 braid, then 300 copper, 45 lb. No good. Lacked about 50 feet. Just ordered a 55 series.
