As above i use the exage on mine its grand not the finest of line lay, bearing in mind that the reel takes the most abuse of any lure fishing outfit the pricey models dont last forever so for the price i wont be cryin when it gives up the ghost. If i had the cash the shimano rarenium 2500/4000 would be my choice
Species....good film.....I'll get my coat
