    Ive been using fireline for many years, good braid in smaller sizes, usually get 12-14 for salmon, pike, saltwater, rods and run 8 lb for trout rods, had a good run with it, and it seams to get softer and limper over time, is better for casting.
    Just ordered a Diawai BG 2500 on Boxing Day and trying diawia J braid, 8 lbs,
    I second getting line spooled at a sports store off the bulk, I've got several, spools of shorts, that are useless for anything, other than practice knot tieing,
