Anyone used this reel with fluorocarbon? It says it comes with a “braid ready SV spool.”  I’d plan to take it with me to Florida when fishing saltwater.

 

But I also need another reel for freshwater - dragging Carolina Rigs and similar with 15 lb fluorocarbon.  I would assume the reel would work for this as well, but wondering if anyone has real world experience using something besides braid? 

A braid ready spool just means that you , technically, shouldn't need to use backing to avoid line slippage. However, Coastal spools are  deep spools and if you don't use backing, you'll be wasting a ton of money filling it /w braid you'll likely never use in freshwater situations. Both the Coastal TWS and Coastal SVTW work perfectly find /w fluoro.
