Personal preference I guess. 30 lb felt way to light to me and I found that wind nots went down considerably with 50 lb. Now I've switched to using only fireline and stren superbraid, like them more than PP. |

i can concur with the increase in wind knot's using both the 30 and 40 lb pp with the slammer 560. i am trying the 50 lb pp this year on my spheros 8000. |

As long as you make sure the line does not cross the face of the spool, wind knots are a non-issue. |

pencil popping
I like working a pencil and throwing for distance, the thicker the braid the less it will cast.

Which All Star?
I have a 560 Slammer on an All Star 1088, spooled with 40# Power Pro. I'd be a little concerned about using the set-up for Bombers. What I do is close the bail by hand, and put a little tension on the braid with my hand as I start the retrieve---once the tension of the lure is felt, then I just retrieve normally.

I have had problems with the 6500 and PP up to 50lbs. The reel doesn't like it. |

Definitely Fireline. You'll love it. 20# or 30#, you make the call. I've used it for years, wouldn't change.
