First time

[new2BC4bass]

using my new Salamandura SV TW 70XHL.  First time using this particular Rapala Clackin' Rap 07 (5/8 oz.).  Second time using the rod...an Elite Tech Smallmouth 6'10" MH-MF.  Crappie in the 14-15 inch area.  Was there about 15 minutes this evening.

 

Brake at 8.  Was seeing the radius at the bottom of the spool.  Box says 75 yards of 12# mono.  Feel like a 7'6" rod would spool the reel.  Or if I had the thumb control like many of you where I could go down to 3 on the brake, this rod would probably spool the reel.

 

Took a picture of the fish and the reel/lure area of the rod which is why I posted the other thread asking how to download pictures.

 

EDIT: Line is Kastking Monofilament Rebel Red.  Box says .33mm (.013) diameter.  Spooled to the bevel.  There is a line around the spool below the bevel.  Don't know what it is for.  Fill line to there?  Box say .285mm (.0112) for 12# line

SV spools are shallow in the first place. 70 sized spools are small also. I don’t know what line you were using, but jdm reels usually use jdm line diameters also for mono so something like sunline supernatural which is thin for a rating. If you had big game on there then it would be more like 50 yards of 12# big game. 
 

enjoy!
