What size tekota for downrigger reel?

[sstout]

What size would everyone recommend for a shimao tekota for a downrigger reel? I usually run 30lb main line to 50 to 100 ft of whatever leader, either 10-12 lb for the fingers or 20lb for lake O. Mainly fish the fingers though. 

 

It would be replacing an old made in USA penn 210. I have an okuma coldwater 30 as a wire diver reel but have always had my eye on the shimanos. 

 

Thanks

i run 500's with 25 lb and havent wanted for more. that said we only get up that way occasionally.

600 size is a good reel

500 is ok for browns in the spring. 600 for kings the rest of the season.
