I use 17lb Yo-zuri Hybrid on my Abu 7000 CL for beach fishing, with 30-50lb flourocarbon leader. Of course, I fish mostly sandy beaches and don't have to deal with the rocks like many of you Rhode Islanders do. I tried braided on my conventional but didn't like it...too unforgiving for the slightest over-spool. Now this is for bait fishing and not for pluggin. I've caught many fish in the 40lb class over the years with this set up. Never lost one to a broken line.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
