penn peer no.309 fishing reel?
is a penn peer no.309 any good for catching dorado and tuna ? is the reel worth anything at all? oh and how many lb of mono and braid line can i put on the reel?
I see Penn 309 as a level wind Penn 500. They have similar dimensions, uses exact same main gear and uses exact same drag. Even spool capacities are the same. Older metal spool 309′s and 500′s will hold 350 yards of 30lb mono and newer aluminum spool 309′s and 500′s will hold about 275 yards of 30lb mono.
I have never used a 309 before but I think it should handle dodos (dorados) and tuna just fine as long as they are not too big. I kind of suspect 309′s will not hold up as well as 500′s under heavy pressure. Also, level winds are not as easy to cast when thick mono lines were used. Personally, I wouldn’t use the reel on tuna over 50 pounds.
You usually don’t spool a reel this size with straight braid line. You should use 50lb to 80lb test dacron backing and braid top shot instead. The reel will hold too much braid line which you can’t use and it just isn’t very economical.
