Nice fish!! One day I'll break 50"....

Great Job! I love all my NFCs

Same thing I do

Stock spool is 36MM. A Zillion TWS 36mm spool should drop right in, and have more capacity. However, not sure how it performs as ive never used it. Can also drop in a set of 36mm-34mm spacers and drop a steez a spool in. I've ran this setup before. Works well. I was running 18lb fluoro with bigger paddletails swimbaits with it.

It should still hold plenty whether you're using mono, braid, fluoro, copoly, what have you. There's always the option of dropping a different spool into as well.

It definitely doesn't hold 150 yards of 50lb. It's supposed to hold 150 meters of PE 2.0, which is normally about .235mm or so, which equates to about .010 inches. Might be closer to .009 actually. Too lazy to break out the calipers haha. So that would be roughly 164 yards of .010 line give or take. I think that was a misprint or a miscommunication somewhere on the 50lb part. I use either 20lb cortland braid which is .010 In. Or 30 lb which is .012 in. (Can't remember which I have on there.) There is easily more than 100 yards on there, which is more than enough for myself. I personally think the line capacity measurements are a bunch of crap anyway, from any manufacturer. I don't think I've ever got a stated line amount on any reel I've owned. It's always been in the ballpark, but not exact. YMMV I use mine for deep cranking, 8xd, 10xd, azuma Zboss, cloud c25, etc.

I use cortland master braid, black.

Exactly sir, right on the money

That zillion 10 is fast, but hard to start up. Hopefully that makes sense

The JDM market has super options for 2 piece trout rods. Phenixs mirage, and elixir are no slouches either

Catalina Tw or steez A crazy cranker.

I would say April is the cruelest for your sister state above you
