Hmmm.. Stewie liked his... I think... for a while... I think... Non level wind no good either TT?

Anyway, I'm not a distance caster. Only been using conventionals for a few years and really only getting confident that I won't get repeated blow-ups recently. I like Fireline or Cortland Braid 50lb on My two Newells P220/ R220. I find them user friendly and simple. For level winds, Abu Big Game 6000CL and 7000CL, upgraded Abu Sweden 7000, Chrome Rocket. I also have a Calcutta 400B that I like and it's mounted on a Sabre thatthe original owner used with the same model reel... I'm sentimental. However I would not use any of them if I knew they might get soaked by a wave... for that, 706Z.
