bill22 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 anyone using a 560 slammer tell me how much braid will go on the spool and what backing you use. 30 lb or 40 lb braid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket500 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I'd go with just enough 15 or 20lb mono braid to cover the spool and then 40 or 50lb braid. You'll get plenty on there. When I had a 560 Slammer I think I got almost a whole 300 yard spool of 50lb Powerpro on it. More than enough. Remember that the thinnner the braid the more likely you will be to have tangles and wind knots. I'm not saying you will have them, it just becomes more likely.

finchaser Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 just checked my reel list 125 yards 20# mono and 150 yards 20# fireline Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I put 200 yards of 50# Suffix braid on mine so I would guess 300 yards of 30 and 250 of the 40 should fit well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albacized Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 just checked my reel list 125 yards 20# mono and 150 yards 20# fireline That doesn't seem right - my pair of 360 slammers get well over 200 yards of 20 lb spiderwire stealth, which is actually thicker than fireline. And being that the 560 is a larger reel, it would only stand to reason that the capacity is higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyK Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 My baitshop gets on 300 yards of Powerpro #30 over a good layer of mono backing. Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPW1 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I never tried braid on mine because I was concerned that the 560 did not have enough crosswrap and the line would dig into inself. Has anyone had that problem - if not I am switching over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket500 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 The Slammers were designed with braid in mind, they are braid friendly. Load 'er up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditch Jigger Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 It should hold a full 300 yard spool of 40# braid---mine did.

JPW1 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Great I will. Will it also work on the SSGs - I know they aren't as strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Caster Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 50 yards of 20# mono and finish with 30# power pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocoLab Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I fit about 250 yds of 50# PP (12# mono equiv) on my 460 slammer. should be able to get a full 300 yd spool of 50# on there i would guess... I also have a 550ssg with 50# suffix braid that to me, doesn't appear to wrap the line as "nicely' as the slammers do, but it's still usable.
