[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 456802, member: 18942"] 65lb braid on that reel good knight. If the braid broke it must have had a fray in it or something that reel probably isn't even capable of having drag numbers that could break that test. With that said years of use with line to heavy for that reel with the drag tightened down probably caused the reel to break. I've only got braid or any line that heavy on my bigger catfish setups with really big spinners and old penn 309 conventional reel. Actually I think I have 40lb mono on my penn 309 maybe not braid can't remember. But spinners that size I usually run around 10lb mono or 20lb braid, and set the drag so if a fish that could break the line runs it peels line and drag. May take more finesse to fight the fish in but your not going to break reel base. [/QUOTE]
