Rod and reel for braid

[WadingWill]

I have a Cabo 60 that I use 30# Power Pro on and as long as you don't overspool it you should be fine. There is a small learning curve with braid as I'm sure you know. Just make sure after you cast you pull all the tension out of the line before you start reeling in to avoid the dreaded wind knot.

I use Shimano Spheros and Baitrunners with Fireline and PowerPro. I have no problems... as long as I ALWAYS close the bail with my hand and not by cranking the handle. There is a routine that comes quite naturally where I pickup the line and shut the bail with my left hand before cranking. I also use Fireline on VS200s and 706z Penns with no issues.
