steel braided fishing line 40G Braid Green / 45 lb. / 500 yards and dependable strength for serious trolling anglers. A * [Stainless Steel Fishing

Run a large slip float, a bead, a stop, and a short leader to a circle hook

As for length, I use to fish primarily on foot or from kayak and in those settings i liked the 7-6 and even 8 as it really gives you an advantage on casting and usually you fish with the rod tip up

Those are usually the rods that end of snapping on a hookset

The lack of stretch and increased casting distance is entirely worth the extra price for braid as your main running line

Put simply, I am far more accurate and comfortable with a spinning rod than a baitcaster

Its sensitive and easy to use for a variety of presentations under a wide variety of conditions
