Sunline asegai line diameter
Sunline asegai line diameter
Spooled up a CT-R with 50lb. Asegai, tied on a trap, soon as I got it dialed in, started spooling the reel. Got home and measured the line, 153 ft. had another CT-R spooled with 50lb. Spiderwire Stealth, 210 ft. Both filled to "normal" levels. The Asegai is .015, the Spiderwire is .014. Would .001 account for a 20yd dif? Or is the Asegai just thicker then the spec?

The Asegai 50lb is one of the thickest I have used. Consistently Spooled a Chronarch 151 on a frog rod, had to switch back to 50lb Performance Braid to prevent spooling. That reel holds 75yds of the PB, nowhere near that on the Asegai. I was able to use the rest of the Asegai spool on a 201K throwing smaller swimbaits without spooling.

Thanks wilddog66, good line, but a little too thick for a standard reel. Indeed, seems like it would be better on a 200 size reel and up.wilddog66 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 11:16 amThe Asegai 50lb is one of the thickest I have used.
