Ive gone as light as 14 lb fireline on beaches wit small plugs.20 lb on for lures 1-1.5 onces an 30lb For most everything else an rocky area's.the only other braid I use is 80lb Hercules kite string which I can't seem to get the same stuff anymore.It goes on my bridge rod a 1209.I buy the fireline in 1000 yd spools.i put 250 yds on an flip it when it gets tired.I change line often.

I hung the 65# last night. The 40# leader broke first.
