St.Croix or Loomis for crankbaits and Orvis, sage & reddington for Fly-fishing. I also have beem known to use Lamiglass.

I caught a turtle on a nightcrawler,also I was flyfishing near the mouth of a little creek one evening and snagged a bat by the wing with a woolybugger!

I'v been putting off trying braid but now I think I wiil just stick with the good old standbys Yo-Zuri hybrid and Vanish transition line. I only use spin equipment cause I pretty muck suck at casting setups! LOL I have also read that braid can cause all sorts of damage to your rods guide system and reel. JMO I have never really tried it so I cant give an evaluation but I do have a pony spool of fireline the guy at Gander Mnt. gave me to try. He said "You'll be back to buy more.." Well, I havn't. I'm sure it has it's purpose but for now I'm satisfied with what I have.

100% correct agreed. Shimano is a great reel for my loot.
