Thanks! 😊

Uhhh, ok. I’ll copy something off the internet with hopes it helps you. A mono backing is used on a spinning reel, particularly when using braided line, because the monofilament grips the spool's arbor much better than braid, preventing the line from slipping and spinning freely on the spool when a fish is hooked, essentially securing the line and allowing for better control during a fight; it acts as a base layer to hold the braid in place and avoid line slippage.

I need/want the whole line up! Haha nice collection you got there!

Have tried mq model and a tierra plus brought a stradic and just keep finding myself going back to the bg

I’d go BG but Battle 3 is a solid reel too!

I love Stradics too. Haven’t had any that long but I know they are work horses and last a good long while. 92/98 is crazy though! Really getting the money worth

I play from time to time! Didn’t know I was in 88th in anything haha

Thank you very much! Bless you too friend!

It’s difficult. Makes it easier when you can spectate for a while and see how others get it done. I would never say “don’t fish” but it is good to know your limits and or work up to new fishing

I had it on a Penn Prevail that worked great for the size lures I use for stripper fishing in my area. Recently, I have it on a 10’ TFO

Prevail is much cheaper and held up for me for years! Still works to this day. Somewhere near $100 but the TfO was nearly 3x that

I don’t fish for them much in the rapids. There are rapid areas which hold fish but when targeting the flats on artificial, high muddy waters.

I'm glad it helped out! Let me know if you have any more questions.

I’ve tried. Caught nothing, but sausage works lol

Absolutely!

68 lbs 70” (boat fish)

You’re welcome! Let me know if you have any questions.

Not friend

​@@ZackBostick My chicken friends and I wish you a ¡¡Happy New Year Zack!!

Ah!!.. I almost forgot, they say they are angry because you ate one of them, very bad Zack... Chickens are friends, not food 🐓

lol 😂

Depends on what fish you’re fishing for. But for a reel about this size, I would be spooling up with 20lb max. When I fish the point I use 17-20lb mono for the drum. On the pier, I usually roll with 20 and 40/50lb shock leader. If your bombing off the pier, beach or whatever, most likely you will need a 7oz or more to hold bottom. When throwing such heavy lead, you want the shock leader. Shock knots can be a little wonky on spinning rods. Shock leader will be able to throw heavy lead safer and also will help you out when getting your catch closer to being landed. Good luck to ya and let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you so much for your answer, it is greatly appreciated. Have a great night.

Im thinking about taking my new bg 4000 to Cabo for some Dorado fishing, would that line size hold up?

most def

its hampton virgina lol

Some parts of the years are better for certain bait over others. Hell yeah, try it out and get on some fish!

Yes, but only when season is open. Depending on state, seasons vary.

We catch them in Marshes. Sometimes certain bait stores will have them for sale. Always recommend calling before hand!

Some Diawas are supposed to lay line somewhat uneven to the eye. Even those can foul up and need some tinkering. Some cheaper reels don’t use the shims, therefore they can’t be worn down.

Haha! Well hope the video helped!! Take a shim out. If it’s too much, file it down or use one with a slimmer profile :)
