I use 20 and 30# Fireline.
Bailless
Grease all the parts that penetrate the body, and put a bead of grease around the cover. Grease the interior like a normal reel. I have had mine under water for minutes at a time.
It works for me.

Thanks for the reply.
I always liked Fireline. Not always the easiest to find.

I started this year with Cortland Spectron 50# on one of my 704Z. It has worked out great.
PS: Thanks for the advice Back Beach.

I used 30lb fireline. I stocked up on the stuff last year because i was having a hard time finding the stuff. I hope they dont discontinue it. I dont think the demand is there compared to all the other brands of braid. Even though fireline really is in its own category.

Everything is better on the rocks.

I use both on mine. Mono for eels and rocks. Fireline for Sand or when I really need some casting distance especially when it is windy. That is why I have an extra spool
