One other item related to my thread is concerning what type of line I should put on my reels. I have an 8' surf rod with a spinning reel and a 7' med/heavy action rod with a Penn Defiance reel. I was thinking 15lb test mono line on both reels. Any other suggestions?
15lb on the 8' rod, 10 on the smaller one.
Badeye I usually never use anything heavier than 10 lb mono for spanish but with all the sharks here now I have started using some of my King reels with 16 lb mono to throw bubbles as you have enough weight to throw using the heavier line and it allows you to horse the fish in more to avoid the sharks Tuff to throw gotchas or looney jigs with this though so I still use 10 lb for them I also have stated using 20 lb braid for some of my plug rods So I'm not sure what to tell you I'd say a good compromise might be 15 on one and 12 on the other
My opinion and $4.83 will get you a latte at Starbucks, but I would spool the Penn with a few rounds of mono backing, 300yds 20lb power pro braid and top it off with 20lb mono for kings and bull reds. Spool the spinning reel with 10-12lb Ande clear mono for Spanish, Flounder, blues, pompano and slot reds.
