With dimensions like that, I'd have to wonder if the Hitena is actually braided line, or just one single strand. I mean .001" is crazy small. lol

Hi David..yes, that,s what i at first thought also but in the product description it read 16 strands for 14 pound line so that,s about one strand per pound or 5 strands for the four pound line, still amazing..

PB 691 MLXF, 20 Red. train, 4.5 runners, 2500 reel, 8Lb. mono, 1/4 oz. 105 ft. PB 661 MLF same setup, 102 ft. Bushido DS 69, 4-10 same setup. 105ft. Same rod with 18lb. Ardent Gliss Monotex 120 ft. I figure if that's not far enough, get somebody else to build it. I'm not heaving these casts like my life depends on it, just briskly cast. Also, as Norm said don't sell the 16 train short, I find it does pretty good when test casting with 8lb. mono. I know its a braid setup. (KR) If It can handle the line I test with it can only do better with braid. David, we're on the same page as usual! 90% of my spinners start with a 20.
