Overhead reel

 G'day all.

 

I need some advice. I have a torium 30 series loaded with 300m 30pd mono .55 diameter. I'm looking for a overhead land base reel that can at least take 400+m line loaded with 30pd .55 diameter line.

 

Any suggestions

 

Happy fishing

 Use braid backing and 100-150m of mono topshot depending in how far you can cast. Should increase your capacity to at least 500m

 I have a torium 30 with 300m of 50lb braid backing and filled to the top with 15kg pre test. Don't need 50lb backing if only using such a light topshot but It was free.. no use wasting it. Hasn't been much I haven't been able to land yet with the exception of large sharks. Been a faultless reel for about a year now. Best reel purchase I have ever made

Torium 30 is bullet proof and casts great, like the others have said just stick some braid backing on there!

As every one has said already use braid  as backing iv got 600m 50lb braid and roughly 180m of top shot .50 , iv been done to the drum a few times . u should easly be getting 450m of .55 on the reel if not more , i got 550m of .50 on my reel before going to brad as backing

 What do you want to use it for ballooning or bottom fishing?

Torium 50

Have a look at the torium 50 , they hold lots of line but they are a bit harder to cast than the 30 size.

But as ragbag said braid is the way to go. I have 2 trinidad 30 with 600m of 50lb berkly whiplash + +-130m of 0.50 mono and they are the same size as your torium 30.
