@coastaldeckhand I couldn't agree more. I recently caught a 29lb black drum on 17lb mono. It was my freshwater bass rod. @narwalbacon I would suggest you use ...more 30lb test if you are unsure. Good luck!
You can use 6lb if you know how to play a fish. I personally use 40lb find windtamer. I like the bigger diameter so it does no dig into the spool. I'm thinking ...more of going down to 30 for distance reasons
