Braid or straight mono for ultralight reel?
Sep 15, 2021 16:20:46 #
I have a new cheap lightweight setup (bass pro microlite spinning combo, 6' rod,1000ml reel), and wondering what ppl think for line. I'm thinking either:
10# or 15# braid to a 4 or 6lb mono leader
Straight 6lb mono (cause I have like 2000 yd on hand)
Thoughts? Advice?

OK the rod is rated at 6 LB so that's what you should use or risk breaking the rod. IMO anyway. The reel is like 4 LB Drag max but the rod will flex when it is going out.

Buy some limp 4lb. test mono like Trilene XL. Low memory important cuz of small diameter spool.
