The capacity on this reel using 12lb Maxima UG. Is that plenty enough for Steelhead down on the Cowlitz or Reiter Pond type of fishing?

MONO: 14/120, 16/100 (so maybe 12lbs line, I get roughly 140yds?)
Braid: 40/140, 55/105

I am not a big fan of braids, maybe on a spinning reel.

Just how much yards/feet enough you have on your main line for Steelhead?

This reel is very comfortable in hand and very small.

Thanks

That's plenty for either river!
I'm assuming that you're fishin the bank from the Reiter reference.
140 yards of 12 pound mono will get the job done for 90% of your steelheading and that's about what I get rigged up with when I go! cheers

Never fished Reiter, but that's plenty for the Cowlitz from the bank. Good luck!
