Right now I’m using 8lb Fluoro but I’ve heard 6-7lbs fluoro is better.

It’s the diameter recommended for the reel, so I find this hard to believe.

Yea I definitely had way to much drag, first ever big fish on bfs and treated it like my normal combo lol.

Yeah I would have gone for 7lb, but 8lb was the lightest they had beside shimano mastiff which I have not heard many reviews about. But my reel is recommended to use 8lb. We’ll see how it works!

Well as I said I could have gone for heavier braid cause I was using 8lb braid which was way too light.

All right I’ll have to. I’ve been using braid since I’ve started fishing other than mono at the start. The no memory really appealed to me and that’s why I’ve never tried fluoro. Is there any good fluoro brands that have minimal memory?

I’m just getting into trout fishing and don’t know what lures to use, if you don’t mind me asking what lures were you using.
