FunkyBunker Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 30 lb. blue S8S for the surf 15 and 20 lb green PP for the back bays. As far as spooling i just leave the line in the box and stick a pen through the middle of it and hold it with my toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spigola Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Depends. I'll fish Sufix 832 10# on my 7' M and MH rods. 15# Sufix 832 on my 8' MH rod, 20# Sufix 832 on my 9' custom 1081L and 20# suffix 832 on my St Croix Legend 10'6". I am fishing, when I am fishing these days, on open beach and find the strength of these lines more than adequate. Lets not forget that the rating in not the actual breaking strength. BTW, do you notice I am partial to Sufix 832. Bright yellow is my color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopwaterPete Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 20lb and 40lb Power Pro SS for me; 20lb is on the 8' rod and 40lb is on the 10'6. My 10'6 gets fished in MTK as well, otherwise I'd probably fish 30lb. The 20lb is on a 5k size Shimano Ultegra and the 40lb is on a 200 Van Staal VR.

chucksplugsinsudz Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Since completely committing to braid I’ve always liked power pro, recently switched to the slick a few seasons ago 20, 30, 40lb tests for surf setups also been playing with lowering tests on larger reels and trying to develop and maintain confidence throwing heavier plugs on lower tests. One of my 150’s is running 20lb on a 9’ 2-4 and has yet to break off a 4-4.5oz bait I do notice an increase in the casting distance especially on the lighter plugs. Only notable drawback is Snaggy areas jigging but that’s gonna happen with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad_Crasher Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I use cheap kastking. Would love to hear from someone who has used old reliable PP and KK. I do hate that the coloring on the cheap stuff wears out fast but I seem to have never have had an issue with strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdhog Posted November 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Even the coloring on the "good stuff" varies. I've had spools of power pro (same test) with different shades of green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
