conventional
I use 17lb Yo-zuri Hybrid on my Abu 7000 CL for beach fishing, with 30-50lb flourocarbon leader. Of course, I fish mostly sandy beaches and don't have to deal with the rocks like many of you Rhode Islanders do. I tried braided on my conventional but didn't like it...too unforgiving for the slightest over-spool. Now this is for bait fishing and not for pluggin. I've caught many fish in the 40lb class over the years with this set up. Never lost one to a broken line.

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.

I agree I will buy the 50 because the 30 is too thin and is a complete mess if I get a nest.

I've been having backlash and breakoff issues, too, with the 30, Lurch, and it wasn't a bulk spool.
I have a little Shimano Corsair...think the model's in the 400s (I flake on details) -- would going to a higher test be advisable?

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

I normally fish 65. Tried 50 this year and found it to "dig" a little too much. The 65 does'nt dig at all, I can only imagine the 30 would be worse.Move up
