Line Diameter or Pound Test For Braid

[5/0]

I want to spool up some YGK Oh Dragon line on a Shimano Nasci spinning reel. It’s 22.5# test with a .008 diameter. The rod is rated at 4-12# line. The braids diameter falls within the rods specs, but the pound rating is much higher. Would I be okay doing this?

 

Thanks...Joe

Sure, provided you're using appropriate drag tension

I always pay more attention to the line diameter
