Just got a new Spinning rod setup. The reel is 8-20 lb line, and the rod is 5'6 medium heavy. Any suggestions with what type of line, what brand, and what weight? I will probably use it for bass, maybe some pike, but i needed to be a travel rod so it will be used for all types of baits, from spinners to cranks, even if its not its strong suit.
Spooling Up?

There's lots of room for variation. I assume the reel is physically large with that line range. Maybe you could use 12# mono, perhaps 15-20# braid. You don't need real heavy line unless you'll be fishing heavy cover and braid that strength can handle cover quite well.

Based on your other thread you are using a president size 35 reel, 8# mono, 10# tops or 15- 20# braid.
