I think its going to depend on what techniques your using some of the set ups for but even then its still just a lot of opinion.

I personally dont care for braid that much and only use it for a few things. I have a rod with 30lb for dock skipping, a frog rod and heavy cover rod with 50 and 65lb.

My other rods are a mix of copolymer or fluorocarbons in the 6-20lb test. Im stilling using up my stash of Gamma which is gone now so I cant help you on brands much. Ill probably try some Sunline or Seagur when my Gamma runs out.

It will all depend what technique u plan on using for each, but based off what I think I'd use for each rod here's what I'd spool up.

1)15lb copoly or fluoro.

2)12lb mono

3)30lb braid

4) 15lb fluoro

5) 17-20lb fluoro or 50lb braid. (Depends on cover)

6) 50-65lb braid.

7) 8-10lb fluoro or 20-30lb braid.

Again this could vary depending on technique of each combo. For braid I like power pro, fluoro Im using sunline super, and copoly I like izorline platinum.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
