I had 50# spiderwire stealth on mine this year. i mostly used it for jigging, so i use braid in that application. i'll be doing more plugging with it this season, so i threw 25# yo-zuri hybrid on it. as a test, i spooled directly from a 6500 abu on to the avet with the 25#. it looks like i can get another 75 - 100 yards more line on the avet. i am going to give the 35# spectron a shot this year on the 525gs. i know of one 50+ that set up landed this past season.

are you on eBay? there is a guy selling the SX's that will mag it for you if you are uncomfortable doing it yourself. might be worth looking into as the avet is super fast right out of the box.

no MSBA meeting for me. not a member, and i live out west.
