I ended up stripping off all of my line last year. Basically I had all Power Pro line on all my reels. I would like to try new brands and sizes. Here is a list of my combos. Feel free to recommend what you think would be best for each one (brand and size) Thanks.

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.
