PENN Warfare, question about braid.

[Chris1386.]

Hi I hope I found the right topic section I’m looking at getting some braid for my PENN Werfare boat rod with multiplier reel combo, not used braid before was wondering if I should go with a 40lb line or would this be too much for the rod/reel.

 

only used mono before but was gonna run with a leader for mono, I was unsure of the length of braid I would need to by too was gonna get a 40lb 50m, it is just for some sea fishing mostly dog fish, pollock the occasional tope.

 

any help would be great thx.

If I remember right the Warfare reels are the model that replaced the nice GTi reels that have done well for decades. The drag powers appear the same also, I would have no concern about using 40 lb. braid on this reel for two reasons, one, I have used 80 lb. braid and lighter on the Penn GTi reels that came out before the big push to braid with no issues since the late 80's, early 90's with no problems. Two, the Warfare were wholly designed within the braid's increase in use and it would have been designed with braid in mind.
