I know $50 won't get me anywhere near a top end line Nick. Just looking for something that won't fall apart quickly and cast well enough to see if bug stickin' salmon is something I wanna do, because that gear addiction will kick in something fierce if I do lol.

Does running a tip off a standard line make casting more difficult?

Stone, are you talking about regular mono like Maxima? If so what on test would I use? Does a mono/tip cast fairly easily for somebody with limited casting skills?

I did buy a 10wt reel if for nothing else to get some extra backing since I'm sure any decent sized king will whoop my butt til I get over the learning curve.
