Hello, For some time now I've been wondering what the information on spinning reels and spinning rods means, like the lbs/yards ratio. I would like someone to clarify this for me!

Thanks a lot, oli131

    Hello
    It's my day of kindness....
    Sometimes you have to look a little
    spinning reel = Fishing reel
    spinning rod = Casting rod
    lbs/yards = expresses the tensile strength (of the fishing line) in imperial units
    1 pound / yards = 0.496054648 kg / m
    Very difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room
    Especially when it isn't there...!!!!

    Thank you very much, but I would like to know how this system works: for example, if I have a casting rod with a line weight of 6-14 lbs, a reel with 6/210, 8/170, 10/135, and a 30 lbs test line, will I be able to catch large fish or will the line break?

      Hello
      Well, I have no idea... Don't forget that CCM is a forum dedicated to computing... not fishing
      Look for specialized forums

      Hi Tribun
      Certainly... But although I am a great sinner before eternity, I am totally incompetent for this leisure activity that is fishing... :o)

      Hi
      Then we'll talk more about fishing in murky waters and methods worthy of Inspector Long Flair... to catch the "dourades"...
