lead size and line diameter

Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:26 pm

just a note to all casting , newbies in particular , try all the different leads if possible to find which one really suits you or in the case of the more serious casters , to become better right accross the board ,
175 gram lead uses .35 line
150 gram lead uses .31 line
125 gram lead uses .28 line
100 gram lead uses .25 line

leads are available at 50cent each .

no problems ,
you can get all the line diameters in the following brands that we recomend for casting,
daiwa tournament
sakuma nite crystal
aiken ultima distance
all are high viz and sit well on the reels for casting ,
ultima powerflex leader is the most common used .
HIGH VIZ LINE ONLY
