Fireline rules has ever since it came out.

The Good News is that most people are too impatient/dumb to figure out how to use it, 20# is lots.

I've got one setup I use for everything (trolling, bar fishing)

Rod: A rod designed buy the people from Army & Navy I forgot what it's called (WICKED ROD!!!)
Reel: Abu Garcia Level Wind 6600 C4 (WICKED REEL!!!)
Line: It's called Veder, they sell it at Army & Navy, Just as good as the Maxuim and alot cheaper for a WAY bigger spool (1000yards) 20lb test

stay away from the daiwa coastal rod, you cant feel the bounce. i prefer the trophy xl medium 11 1/2 casting rod and is a good price too. landed many springs, coho and sockeye with it. i use a calcutta 400b baitcaster reel with it. for a spinning rod i use a trophy xl heavy 10 1/2. it has better feel than the medium action and i use a daiwa jupitor 5500 reel with it.

fireline will frey easilly. i use 50 lb toughline for main and 6-30 lb leader line maxima or gamma.

15 lb Maxima Chameleon works best for me.

will never use maxima again.  Horrible degredation rate.  For the money I prefer big game or Ande.  If I'm dropping coin, I'll go Izor.
