What to spool new reel with?
 

Just purchased a Phlueger President 6930 with a 7' Berkley lightning rod (med). I am going to use it as my all around bass and walleye rod. Not sure what I should spool it with. I was thinking Seagur inviszx fluoro in 8. But wondering what you guys thought. Mono, braid?

Thanks......

15-20 lb braid. Can't go wrong with sufix 832 or super slick

Not to steal a thread but I to am thinking about switching from Mono to Braid on my bass reels. Do I need to learn to tie new knots or will mono knots work?

10 - 20 lb power pro braid, Sufix 832 is a close second.

Yes but they're easy. If you can tie your shoelaces or tie a tie, u can easily tie braid friendly knots.

I'm not a fan of floro or braid on spinning gear. I've tried both and gone back to mono. Floro was nothing but tangle city for me on my spinning gear. After LT a month of frustration I tore off about $60 worth of floro from my reels and re-spooled with mono.

Braid just felt wrong. I didn't like the way it casted and the noise it made and the vibration I felt while reeling it in was annoying.

Everything was re-spooled with good old Berklely Trilene, my go to mono for combination of price and performance.

Im a mono guys on my freshwater set up. I have had to many issues with the floro and braid. Get a tangle with the braid and its a pain the ass to get out. Then if it knots you have to cut it all off. With mono for me i feel i can get most of the tangles out without having to cut anything

Blah blah blah blah blah blah................. yes very annoying echo.

Put a good 10 lb mono/copoly (I like Sunline or Magnathin) or go with 20 pound braid, Daiwa J-Braid or Maxima braid is what I'd go with.
