Bruce424 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Keep your plan and get your 12 lb mono to practice. Easier with a thicker line of 12 than 6 or 8. And honestly, mono I think is best all around line to fish with one setup. Quote
javelin94 Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 i taught my 5 year old nephew to cast a Abu Garcia Black Max 3 consistently. very easy to tune Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted November 24, 2016 Super User Posted November 24, 2016 12# mono or co-polymer is my choice for most of my MH rods. I prefer this type of line for the majority of my fishing. Braid and fluorocarbon go on very few reels. Never used either of those items, but have a couple Abu reels and several Fenwick rods. I've always felt I got good value for my money with Fenwick. My Abus are nice, but they are an STX and a couple Premiers. In your place I probably would have waited for Academy to have a sale on their Mettle reels. Aluminum frame versus a graphite frame, and the reel gets very good reviews. However, too late now. I hope you enjoy your new combo. Baitcast reels are a joy to use.....once you get the casting part down. Quote
