<b>IMO…</b><br><br>Often times what one reads & what one writes can be read in Many ways.<br><br>To ME… it kinda looks like a couple guys offering INFO.<br>unless there is a “Discount” that I didn’t see …<br>`Jeff, ya selling rods now..?<br><br><b> The OPEN & FUN EXCHANGE of INFO…</b><br><br><br>Pete, ya mentioned most of the feesh go around10 to 20 lbs…not much bottom for Abrasions either it sounds…<br>The 6500 with the <i> “500-600yrds of 30lbs braided line, will this extra line help or should I seriously look into 50-80lbs braided line”</i><br>That’s a LOT of line, as long as it’s good & ya don’t pull to hard… 30 lb. will hold, the 50 gives insurance, check capacity to see if it’s worth it, a Beeg GT will strip 30 & 50.<br>Stick with the 6500 & have more fun, just make sure your knots are good & back it off a bit if ya get too much line out & the fish is moving fast, once it slows, then ya can pressure it…`but not so hard it breaks.<br><br>I don’t know about rods.<br><br>If ya do go bigger, go with the 950, only a bit heavier & mo $$ than the 850 but a LOT more reel.<br>Jeff’s points on upgrading them sound good, I’ll use them myself soon.<br><br>IMO, Big Jacks, ya gotta get thru their First Run, they tire a bit after….<br><br>[
