Sushi, i agree with DownRiggin. I think 20# is plenty. Hell, your line is going to be toast by the end of the season so why go expensive? Have fished Ande 20# and have had no problems with fish up to 30# so far. Also the smaller diameter works better when going deep. I have yet to break off a fish. A buddy of mine hooked an 18lb lingcod on a pole that had a broken drag. The drag didn't work at all. The fish almost pulled him in, but the line never broke, the hooks(1/0 Gamis) bent though. And $3.00 for almost 1000ft is pretty good.
