how to fill new reels - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Ok, both reels are high on my list, although, I'd use the TLD for fishing live bait, and the Daiwa for chucking or another bait reel.

i fill my TLD with enough 40# mono backing to allow for 200 yards 50# spectra. Then use a short topshot.

I put 30# or (40 if I'm using it for throwing iron) on the Sealine. Use a short flouro topshot if you're fishing bait.

good luck.
