20lb for sure. It is only a 3k. Not that big a spool

I took out the 40lbs and put on the 30lbs... it got around 260meters out of 300. Much better now.. I'm happy.

Can't wait to try it out soon :super:

It's also packed very loosely.

It might pay to take it into a store and get them to spool it for you, if you can't get he line on under a bit more tension, should only cost a few bucks.

If your not sure on how to do it properly, I would do the same mate. Nothing worse than having problems with it later while fishing or a hot bites happening!
