wezbre Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hello all, ive just invested in a Shimano Tiagra 50W LRS and am wanting to spool with 24Kg Tiagra line. I'm hoping that someone can tell me if i am going to need backing on the reel to load 1000M of 24Kg. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The Tiagra 50WLRS is better suited to 37kg due to its fast drag curve, swap it for a 50w or a 30W LRSA for 24kg- you can use backing if you wish -dacron or with the change in gamefishing rules braid. Using a topshot systenm is a good one using splices to dacron - then you can just change the top 250 m every season or after a a few fish. If using braid as a backing I think the more serious gamefishos are using loop to loop conection- but I dont use braid backing so im not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 50w will hold 1000mtrs of tiagra 24kg very neat...braid can be used but imo it gets wet and sits buried under topshot and doesn't dry out..rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
