What line to use on a vintage spinning reel?

Post by Vegard_Dino »

Good afternoon all.

Oh, sitting here and enjoy a great summer and thinking about vintage reels, spinning reels.

When I do get myself one, I will be needing some line to, but what line to putt on a vintage reel?

Whatever you would normally use :Thumb:

I would just use what you have confidence in now. Don't think I would want to fish with 50 year old line if I could find any :Hahaha:

If you want something good but kind to the pocket you should try "drennan series 7" mono. Only £1.99 for 100M and I find it very reliable.
