Re: fixed spool reels
for most fixed spool work i use braid 20 or 30lb if not f1 or powersteel from ultima i think the f1 is more abraision resistant,the powersteel has less stretch,i think line is up to your personal pref as some lines are loved by some and hated by others

Re: fixed spool reels
completely agree, knots very well @ the leader, casts well & decent abraision resistance. Reltively thin too.roryoc wrote:im using sufix tritanium on mine at the moment and cant fault it
