A squidder into the wind is a tough place to start (or restart). I'd go with 30lb ande backcountry mono. Braid or fireline is going to saw off your thumb. You also need to fool with the oil viscosity in the bearings. Nothing thin. Rocket fuel red/ rocket fuel xs are good, SAE 50 wt another option. Your rod is crucial too. Something slow action that unloads smoothly is best. 8 feet at least (longer if graphite) Don't snap your stroke at the end. Metal lips are not going far into any wind (though sometimes they don't have to) and over-powering them is counter-productive. Needles, bottles, or darters are better.
