12 pound will work fine. I use 8 pound on one of mine for casting lures and 23 pound on another one that I use for bottom fishing for big cats

I use 10lb, mostly because that's what I had to begin with, and never used anything different. 12 shouldn't be a problem. If that's what you were wanting to use, I would say go ahead and try it, and if you have problems then go lighter.

A: 
Personally, I prefer 10 pound test for most local fresh water fishing and coastal salt water. It should handle 12 lb test easily enough and I would recommend it if you are going after heavier, deeper running fish or if you do a lot of crappie fishing around heavy brush and snags.

A: 
12 lb line is not too much. It is on the border. I don't think you will have much problem with it. It depends on what you are fishing for also.

A: 
I don't recommend putting a larger diameter line on then recommended. They tend to twist up. The line roller is not designed to handle a line this diameter. I use 10lb on my 300ex and it works great. Be sure to put the line on the correct way so as not to twist it right off the get go.

A: 
i think 12 is pushing it but i dont see why it wouldnt as long as you use a smaller diameter line such as fireline or something comparable. I use 8 lb. stren on mine because its cheap and i have never broke it with a fish on or setting the hook or any of the stressed situations. so as far as im concerned yea if you want go for the 12 lb test but unless your fishing very deep or in alot of sticks and heavy cover id stick with 8 or 10 lb.
