I need to go get some line put on my new 4000. What is the word on letting gone fishing load it up for me.I always run 30lb ultra-green and can not afford the 150$+ for a bulk spool right now.I ask this because I have read that they will sometimes cause ware by going to fast on the auto line loaders. Yes Know??

Thanks guys:

Jencourt,

IMO I don't think that the auto line loaders are going to make a difference, or wear your line. Using U.G. should also help....

Thanks for that J.
I was more wondering about wear on the reel? Or having line tension issues on the spool (hub)?
I have only ever had 330gt loaded with braid.I have had no issues there.
 
Hey Ray,

I've had 1/2 a dozen reels loaded for the same reasons you gave. Never had a problem in two years of use spread across the 6 rods.
 
If the person running the machine knows what they're doing it's no problem but having both run the machine and had someone underqualified try to load a reel.......

My suggestions is to make sure the staff member doing the loading is a member of the A Team not some kid who just started working there.
 
If its a shimano 4000 put a bit of backing on it for cushioning as they tend to split about 100yds then you will have to put less line on it which forces you down the road to respool new line on I do that with all my reels even the trophys I use 300 yds is PLENTY of linewhen I get down to 200 yds i usually replace.
Good luck Wolf
 
Not UG but affordable.

Maxima Crystal Ivory is okay too if you can find it. Any American Walmart or tackle store has it for $11-12 for a 1/4 lb spool that will fill the reel 2 times if you use backing.

Ultragreen is good, but it's a bit like a top of the line golf ball. You pay a premium for the added confidence that is no longer needed once you land some big fish or shoot a low score with something cheaper.

I hand load everything. I will be buying a new roll of 25 Utlra Green soon enough and will fill your reel if you still need it done.

By hand....
