    I use the Alberto to tie the braid to the backing, and then to tie the fluoro/mono to the braid. It is very easy to tie after a couple times, and I have NEVER had that knot fail.

    Put some mono backing on the spool before adding the braid. Double Uni or Palomar to tie to the hook. Use a Fluoro or mono leader around rocks and use the Alberto to join the braid, and mon/fluoro together.

    Then what do you feel makes a reel "THE BEST"? You stated (and I agree 100%) Floogs are the (smoothest, never need service of any kind, takes a lickin and keeps on tickin). What would it take to be the best, or can there be no best?

    Another vote for the Plueger President.

    Abu Garcia VTS70-5 paired with a Plueger President and ou have a winner for under 150

    You can use 50# if that's what you have, but I prefer no more than 30# on spinning gear and like 20# best. I do use mono backing to save on the braid, and prevent slipping.

    3/16-5/8oz

    I think there are much better choices in that price range, and less.

    I use Power Pro 30# on my baitcast gear, and Power Pro 20# on spinning gear. I fish some really heavy vegetation, and I have never had this line fail.

    The tolerance is extremely tight between the spool shaft and pinion gear and such, and the slightest bit of oil slows the spool down.

    I am not a fan of Mag brakes only as the Speed Spool has. You should have bought the model with centrifugal brakes as they are so much better. You have a Shimano now, if I were you I'd return the SS and get a Citica.

    Trilene XL is my favorite when I fish Mono. I have never cared for Stren, and Ande is a saltwater line, not that it matters.
  15. BASSHUNTER1961
    I use a mono leader. My prefered knot to join the braid and leader is the Alberto knot.
  16. BASSHUNTER1961
    I prefer a 7'-7'6" MH XF for plastics.
  17. BASSHUNTER1961
    I like Power Pro 20-30#
  18. BASSHUNTER1961
    Yes.

    Shimano's customer service is tops! I called the recently to order a spare set of brake weights, and I had them in one weeks time no charge at all.

    X2... I like the CRC brand, it's been my favorite for 30 years.

    I sure do apreciate that. Just let me know he address, and time to be there. Also let me know anything I should bring as far as food, and I can help out with fuel as well if you like.
  23. BASSHUNTER1961
    Fantastic! I'll need to know where to meet, and when...
  24. BASSHUNTER1961
    I would be delighted to fill either seat if one of you would have me. I can also bring food for the grill. Just shoot me a PM or post here. Thanks!

    This very interesting to see all the different choices. I'm still trying to decide what I would choose LOL.....
