Bruce424 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Keep your plan and get your 12 lb mono to practice. Easier with a thicker line of 12 than 6 or 8. And honestly, mono I think is best all around line to fish with one setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User new2BC4bass Posted November 24, 2016 Super User Share Posted November 24, 2016 12# mono or co-polymer is my choice for most of my MH rods. I prefer this type of line for the majority of my fishing. Braid and fluorocarbon go on very few reels. Never used either of those items, but have a couple Abu reels and several Fenwick rods. I've always felt I got good value for my money with Fenwick. My Abus are nice, but they are an STX and a couple Premiers. In your place I probably would have waited for Academy to have a sale on their Mettle reels. Aluminum frame versus a graphite frame, and the reel gets very good reviews. However, too late now. I hope you enjoy your new combo. Baitcast reels are a joy to use.....once you get the casting part down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
