Breach Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Ive got a Quantum Incyte IT20F that says it can handle 100 yards of 8lb test. Can I put a higher lb test on there, or can you not exceed that limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 It's merely a guidline to help you with spool capacity. You could go 100yrds of 30lb braid (8lb mono dia.) if you wanted to. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglyfish Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 the higher the lb rating on the line the less the reel with hold. also the spools are sized according to the reel size and lb test they are spooled with, so casting distance is hindered when using a larger lb test line.

jwl Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 gotta also watch that the heavier lines don't start cutting into your spool, or cut a knotch into the line guide on the bail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
