250 lb braided fishing line Optic Orange 8X- No Fade Fish PowerPro Hercules Super Cast 100M 109

It is stiffer than mono and has similar knot issues to braid, so it is best to use the Palomar knot or the FG knot as described above

We dont catch a whole lot of bass with this lure, but all the smallmouth bass we do catch with it have been big ones, so we keep throwing it out there

So, Ill walk up to one of the deep corners, stand back and cast near the bank

It doesnt stutter to the point that Id suggest you dont go and buy this reel, but if I was using anything lighter than 6lb leader and trying to stop even slightly larger fish in the very snaggy and shallow environment it may have been an issue

Arriving at the sea on a summer dawn morning with nobody else around and the anticipation of what could be out there really gets the adrenaline going
