Help required with line weights/strength (japanese reel)

barbusg60 · Mar 8, 2011

Hi all,
I have just bought a reel made for the Japanese Market (an old Shimano Titanos 6000 fixed spool) and it lists the line capacity on the spool in line number, not breaking strain or diameter.
It is a Biomaster/Navi type reel and lists the following,

No 6 - 300m
No 8 - 200m

Would that be the breaking strain capacity on a 6000 size spool? I hope not as I needed a bit more capacity than that!
Thanks in advance,
Rob

i would say no 6-15lb bs and no 8-18/20lb bs going by the size of the reel

So by my reckoning 15 lb should be about 4.5 on the scale which means the reel should hold about 400m?
I did google it but couldnt find anything anywhere, thanks for the help.
Rob.
