taJon, On our light spinning rods 7-8 ft, we use 30 lb power pro with 10 - 12 lb test berkly big game backing.
On Bill's light Baitcasting 8 ft with a calcutta 400, all cod rods, all bass rods, spinning and conv, we use 50 lb test with 15 -20 lb berkly big game backing.
Tie the lines together using a uni-uni knot and they will stay together perfecty, have never had a line part not even on Nice size false albacore on light tackle. If you use a snap swivel or direct tie on your lure us a palomar not and you will be good to go.
also , we only do a few wraps of mono and fill the spool with Power Pro, Yes it is expensive, but if we need to fix the line cause it is getting a little worn, we just reverse the line onto another reel that way the good stuff is in the front. Buy Bulk it is much cheaper!!!!!
