This Reel i have about 700 YDS of braid with a little backing to keep it from slipping... i don't normally have a top shot fo mono ... UNLESS i am beach fishing for shark when the sand can eat through the braid and loose the fish.... i would go 200YDS of 80lb or 50lb mono top shot depending on what fish you are after... check out my latest PR on a fiends 9/0 he has set up for sharking.... he runs straight mono 50lb and has handled some big shark! ... personally i love braid no top shot!!
Hope this reel is one of the made in the USA models. The quality of the Chinese made Penn Products is not near the USA made quality. I have learned this the hard way.
Just bought 2 9/0 reels om curious how much you payed 10 years ago vs how much they go for now i feel like there's not much of a difference in price lol great real though might buy a few more for Christmas.

great review i might get it.
What would be a good rod for this reel because I can't find one and good review
how much line do you have on there? and do you suggest putting a mono topshot on top of braid? or do you like just straight braid?
