TLAP....

I decided on going Avet for starters, and depending on how it works out, I might pick up the 525 non-mag version.

One question with the Avet, what line do you recommend? I plan to try both mono and braid. But with all of your experience, I would like a recomendation as a starting point.

Until i learn the reel, I am probably throwing mono, to make picking out backlash easier. But eventually going to braid for the additional line capacity.

Are you going to the MSBA meeting tomorrow? Would love to meet you if you are.

thanks
