    Line Capacity question

    Sorry for another post, but I have been reading line capacity is a big deal in saltwater, especially for reds. The pole I was considering getting is 20 lb 150 yard, is that enough? If I switched to 17 lb line how much more line yardage could I get? Or if I just rented a pole down there, what kind of capacity/strength/quality/price can I expect? Thanks!

    Re: Line Capacity question

    I would suggest having at least 250 yards of line. 15lb mono is fine for just about anything that is worth catching. I'm not sure how much 15 lb line your reel would hold, but i'm sure you can google the reel name and find out.
