Agree that if you only want to buy one spool, 50# is the way to go. I really don't see much use in any case for anything over 50# unless you're planning on tackling tuna...then you'll need to go to at least 80# for the class fish we're expecting next year. Otherwise, anything heavier is just not required and will cut down on casting distances.

My 2 cents.

	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.
