Copper question??

[hookemhard]

I need some information on what size reel I need to run 300 feet of copper, I am looking at Okuma and Daiwa but any input or preference would be appreciated don't have the money to spend on Shimano

I got the penn set up from atom mik. Comes all spooled up. The daiwa 47 def won't hold it and backing. Not sure about okumas.

An Okuma 55L will do the job just fine

I just received 600' of copper, 500' of power pro backing and 50' leader, what reel would be best to go with, OKUMA 55 CL or CV, or the PENN GTI 345? Thanks

u will hafta go with the Penn 345 for the 600copper setup

As Chrome Slayer said the Penn GT 345 is the one to go with for 600' of copper.

I have two Okuma CV-55Ls, one with 400' of copper and the other with 450', both with 300 yards of power pro backing. The reel with 450' of copper on it almost deosn't fit all of the copper.

Not to mention the Penn is superior reel.

I just bought a Tekota 800lc for my copper from A-TOM-MIK . Great Price and Amazing Service!!

The Tekotas cost a little more then the Penns but 1 turn on the crank brings in 3' of line which is nice when you have 400 to 600 feet of line out and they are very smooth.
