8 lb braided fishing line Optic Orange 8X- No Fade and less bait lost – you’ll find that you’re actually money ahead SpiderWire Stealth Braid Fishing Line,

Instead, I feel the purpose of spool tension adjustment is to avoid it being so loose that it chatters during casting (and doesn't spin smoothly)

Meanwhile, big-bait setups may need heavier mono, fluorocarbon, or braid depending on the lure and fish

This is a passive feeding strategy

Ill use beefier reels that cost a little more for my heavy braid applications like punching and frogging, but Ive used three or four generations of the LFS reels over the last 8 or 9 years and have been very pleased with the strength, comfortability, ease of use and price of them That being said, when looking for a more technique specific quality reel, I will spend a little more, typically landing between $180 and $250
