Chronarch 50Mg Question

[StillH2O]

I bought a Chronarch 50mg a month ago and really haven't used it much, so I call on forum members with more experience. In view of the type of fishing I do in Oklahoma, I have no doubt that the reel will suit me just fine. But here's where I need help. I will be going to El Salto in mid-February, and I'm planning on taking the Chronarch 50mg/IMX 843 as one of my three rigs. My guess is that I'll be throwing Senkos and T-Rigs with this rig. All the folks I've talked to about Mexico bass fishing insist that 20# test line is really minimal--especially for worm/jig fishing. Due to it's low line capacity, I really can't see Trilene Big Game as an option. I thought about either using Seaguar 15# (with a relatively small diameter) maybe switching techniques and using say, a 50# braided line for T-Rigs. I would appreciate any suggestions.

P.S. My other two rigs I plan to take are Curado 200D's on Falcon Cara rods--H and MH.

Use 50lb power pro on the chromarch 50MG, I do and it works great for T-rigged worms. JMHO

Call one of the service centers and order a curado 100 B spool.  They are like $35 and a direct swap out, they increase your line capacity enough to go up to #20 XT.  They work great, all but one of my 50 MG's have the 100 B spools in them.  I carry the original spools as extras, loaded with different lines for different circumstances.

A cheap solution for the "trip of a lifetime"

Thanks you for the suggestions. You all have given me some good options to consider. This is a good challenge to have...trying to prepare for a Mexico bass fishing trip!

Poor me...

I use the powerpro 40 in my chronarch 101.  I love it.  So much so I bought another.  It took a while but now I'm sold on these.  The spinner stays home.  I've pulled in logs and trees w/ this line.  Amazing.

No problems at all.  Just don't let the line get near the rocks.

Nice Combos first off.  If it was me I would spool the mg up with P-Line Spectrex 30lb braid.  It has an 8lb mono diameter and flips and casts awesome.  I use it on my mgs and it works great.  Not to mention it is tough as nails.  It is the best braid I have ever used.
