I prefer braid, though it's more expensive if you have to cut away a squirrel's nest and discard it. Streamlined, distance-casting lures tend to do better. Most metal-lipped plugs are more wind-resistant, result in more tangles. Darters, needlefish, bottle plugs, tins and bucktails do better. Conventionals are great for working plugs slowly, they have a lower gear ratio that negates the temptation to reel too quickly as with spinning reels. I also learned on a Penn Squidder, now use AbuGarcia Ambassadeur 6500 and 7000. I once killed the antireverse on my 6500 on a Block Island night with many big bass on eels. I hope the 7000 is beefier in this respect.
