New 7000 and love it.

Congratulations on the New Reel Danny. As far as what line to put on the reel You have several selections that work Great,Some are Big Game 30/50 pound test or you might also choose Braid, I personly like Braid,Power Pro 50/80 pound test and use a Mono backer first and then put your braid on. I also use a mono shock leader on the braid. Good luck the 7000 is a Wench and cast great.Others will be along shortly with more choices. Hope this helps. Your Iowa Brother.Long Live the BOC.

JD gave you some good, advice, have 5, 7000 and like them all, don't think you can go wrong with them stout and hold quite a bit of line, I run 40 lb, big game solar or andy. also like power pro. braid.

I have two of them and use 20 to 30 pound test on it depending on where im fishing.

 

Congrats on a nice reel! Good advice above. I'd go with 30-50# mono depending on where I'm fishing. IMO, 40# Big Game would be perfect for it.

 

Congrats on the new 7000. Great reel and you will love it more each time out. You have been given some good advice on line. I use line type and style according to the size fish I'm targeting.

 

Im a power-pro person I use 100# same size as 20# mono so you can get a bunch of line on it .

 

congrats on the reel you will enjoy it

 

Danny I use 25# or 30# big game and ande on my 7000, they cast well to.

 

Congrats on your new reel.

 

Congrats on the new 7000 Abu reel! I personally like using #20 berkley big game on mine or Cajun red #20 on it. Holds plenty of line and casts great. My 7000 c3 is the older red model and still works like new. Great reels. You made a smart purchase. Great job!!

Good luck fishing this year!!:big_smile::big_smile:

Congrats on the new reel.

 

I just scored my first 7000i reel,watch out catfish!!:big_smile:

 

Nice reel bro! Hope you catch a hog on it.:wink:

 

There great reels! I have 4 and so far love them! I use mono backer and 80# power-pro on mine.:big_smile:

 

Congrats on your new 7000 reel, you can use 30lb on that one.

 

The 7000 series is my favorite! I have.....several of them. Put on a mono backing as already stated and then fill it full of 50-80 lb. Power Pro. Set the spool tension where you can just barely discern a tiny amount of sideplay. I run 2 or 3 brake blocks and throw 4-6 ozs. of weight and use them on Tiger Ugly rods, Catfish Safari Flathead rods, and 4 different 10 foot surf rods. Man, the things cast like rockets! Fish on!
