Nah man, York River has some great striper "rockfish" fishing... Yeah, the monsters are in the deeper channels of the Chesapeake Bay.... Got buds who travel the CB from VA/Eastern Shore to MD for some giants. Not me and my kayak, tho, LOL.

I sorely miss my Mother, who left my Dad, siblings, and me a few years ago with a sudden stroke. NEVER take her presence for granted. Ever. Thanks for posting.

Welcome back to the fold!

I use 10 and now mostly 15# Power Pro Super Slick 8 on my 1000s. Plenty of line for freshwater fishing most species. 6, 8, 10 pound leaders typically, and if I need *any* extra drag when fighting, I simply palm the spool with whatever pressure needed. The rod plays a part, as well.

Everything. I have caught dozens of bass over 5 and 6 pounds on them, including the 6.6# in my avatar. Also use them striper fishing inshore. They are far more capable than just for ultralight.

Welcome aboard! Today's reels, by and large, are smaller and lighter. @WRB is spot on with the 3000 size being more about spool depth. While I fish 1000 size Stradics, the CI4+ being my favorite, I've also held the 3000 model and it's a great size and weight. I do fish jigs with my 1000s, not typically heavy jigs. For those I use a baitcaster, but wouldn't have a problem using a larger spinning reel for one. Guess the bottom line is to echo @d-camarena, "either one works"

50 yard spool of 40# Ande leader material (mono). Felt that 50# was a tad too stiff, and 30# was a tad too soft. 40# seems to be the sweet spot. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/ande-monofilament-leader-skeins
