Oops, this is pierless. Accidentally used my dad's account at his house.

450 yards of 50#.braid

This sort of deal is more appropriate for a 70 mile out rig than a 7 mile out rig in my opinion. Stick with mono unless you have a specific reason (bottom fishing in super deep water where stretch could be bad, high speed trolling for monster wahoo that might take a ton of line etc) to use the braid.

Re: fishing out at the rigs
My last rig trip 5 or 6 years ago was within 10miles of shore and resulted in a bonanza of big spade fish and a few trigger fish. We also had a couple of nice black drum. I was using an ambassador 6500 with 12lb test line and it worked great. Lots of fun and any medium spinning reel should be fun for fish like that. Of course Mr AJ will say goodbye if you hook him on something like that usually.
