I'm sure everyone has already answered the spinning line question, but I haven't found it yet. So your input would be apreaciated. Also, I bought the Abu 130R at wally world on clearance for $13, just wondering how tough this reel is. Thanks ahead for all your input.

Since you are asking for inputs, I dont want to seem rude but you really get what you pay for...And I dont believe a 13 dollar reel will be very tough, or durable.

Thanks for your input, I wasn't really planning on using it for Big Cats. Just wondering was it might be capable of.

I found more info on the reel, but still no opinions about the line for it.
