User questions & answers

Question:	En este carrete 3000 de cuántas libras es el maximo que se le puede colocar en multifilamento
Answer:	Podrías agregar multifilamento de las libras que quieras, pero por el tamaño del reel estimo que lo ideal seria máximo 30 libras
Question:	If I have a 7ft saltwater rod, why should I get
Answer:	I use a similar Kastking 2000 on the 7ft saltwater, but I use it for bank fishing. I use a 20lb braid so I can set the drag and fight a bigger fish. I always have to keep a bell on to avoid getting spooled if I hook a cow.
Question:	Where are they manufactured
Answer:	Made in China.
Question:	Would the 2000 or 3000 pair up better with the 7 ft perigee rod
Answer:	Depends what you're fishing for. I have a 2000 on my heavy action, I have a 20lb braid and bankfish for mostly stripers in the 5-15lb range. Most people would use a 3000 since you can get an extra 50 yards or so of line. I'm constantly on my pole so I don't get spooled.
