Alright, thanks for the tips everybody. I think I'll maybe do 10LB copolymer, as braid seems not to be the way to go, which is fine by me. Jut means I'll be saving ten bucks in line! Plus I've never tried copolymer but have heard a lot of good stuff about it! As far as a reel goes, I'll probably avoid the president, as this isn't the first time I've heard about it creating line issues (my dad used to own one and got wind knots and birdnests all the time) Maybe I'll look into a Mitchell 300, I've loved those reels from just trying them out in-store. Either that or a Shimano probably. As far as a rod goes, I'm thinking a mojo bass, but I'm gonna play with that rod and some others a little more first.
