I've never went lower than 10# until I got Senshi which 10# feels like its 4# of other brands. Any how I have 20# braid I thought would be good, then reading it says 6# diameter. Only have 1 reel with braid and it's 40#. If someone can school me on lowest I can go that would be great!

 

I caught my PB on a bait caster with 10# braid + 10# leader.

 

That said, I prefer 20# PowerPro now. I've used heavier, but prefer 20. Everyone's opinion is valid, for them.

 

I like throwing lighter lures on my BC setups, so 20 works great. Digging in is not a problem. If you do happen to dig in, just pull out the line and relieve the situation. I've thrown up to 4" weighted swim baits on 20. No problems. Really depends on you. If you are not comfortable with it, go heavier.

 

You do not have to match diameter of mono and braid.

20# says 6# diameter. What's the inches per turn gonna be. I don't want to reel in 12" per crank either. Lol

Line diameter has no bearing on IPT.

Good question, and I don't know! :smiley:

 

I just know that my Chronarch 50e reels bring in plenty of inches per turn, and my Lexa 7.0:1 is even faster!

Lmao I'm making this much more difficult than it needs to be huh. Lol

Actually my mistake. I'm thinking because the spool of braid is 150 yards, thought it was gonna be terrible because the limited amount of line on a deep spool. Forgot to consider backing. Obviously full spool will pull in larger amounts of line than a spool 1/3 way full.

Yea you're talking about overall line capacity, not ipt.... Ok... Gotcha!
