What line?

[FlyNorth]

What line for a Shimano Tranx 300 and 400? I have 2 400’s, both gear ratios and one 300. New to Musky fishing but have a lot of experience with Pike, Salmon and big trout in Alaska. Trying to figure out what line to spool up.

Thanks for your input!

Would say 80# power pro would do tge trick

Cortland Masterbraid is nice stuff. I use 65lb on a lexa 300.

Thanks for the responses guy’s. Any thoughts on 682?

I assume you mean 832. Its good Braid. I have it on a couple of musky reels. I mostly use Master Braid. Depending on what you are throwing I would use 65- 100 LBS, If you don't plan on throwing any big rubber or big cranks/jerks you can easily use 80 and not worry about loosing a bait if you have a back lash... I would not put anything bigger than 65 on the 300 given the size of the spool/ line capacity.

what do you consider a big bait ?

[Mojo1269]

Pounder Bull Dawgs, Husky or bigger Medusa's, any dive and rise bait bigger than 10 inches, Any Cranks 10 inches or bigger etc...

I just bought to 400 series Tranx one normal and one HG and was thinking about 85LB but this is a new setup fr me so all the advice I can get is great.

Thank You
