Wanted to thank nofish2 for reaching out to me and setting me up with 3 very nice used rods at a great price. Excited to get out in a few weeks here and give them a try.
I also took fishdude's advice on backing some braided line with mono. I wanted to try out a few different lines before committing to a larger spool so I backed a couple reels with 10lb mono and then put 50-75 yrds of 10lb braided line topped with a 6lb 24" flouro leader. I can see why folks like the fireline already. Thin, soft and it feels like it will soak up less water than some of the other brands. Time will tell.
