>>794378depends on what youre fishing for also. people also use braid to allow a lot more yardage on the reel for fish that might spool you. on my bluefin reel I have 400+yds of jerrybrown with a topshop of 40yds of mono.
you can toss a live mackerel 60' super easy with 80lb test. if the fish get line shy then i can clip off the 80 and tie on another lighter top shot..
on my striper/bay rods i set up like you.
