I have been asked about choices of mono line for free spool reels. I use either Sufix Elite .33dia and Sufix Dura-Flex .30dia. Found them to be the best for ME... Any suggestions. This would be a good reference for future. Good things come to those who bait.

Hi Neil If you have a 35km spool of moimoi and mono degrades over time and you dont bust off regularly Does that mean that despite any efforts on your part to slow down/prevent degradation the end of the spool will be less effective than the first part of it you used?

I change my line often esp if its been dragged through the weed and rocks to ward off any possible disastrous issues. The big spool is keep out of the sun to ward off the uv rays .It will take me years to see the end of that spool I think . Plus at $60 I have had more then my moneys worth from it so far. Good line and good hooks are really important imho. Disclaimer .Hamills staff member.

I use about 0.38 mm on a shelving beach. I don't care how limp it is or isn't. A budget abrasion resistant line (e.g. Red Ice) of that diameter is fine once it's stretched and bedded in on a free-spool. My new Akios 555 is loaded with 0.32, but that's for surf beaches where distance counts and side currents can be a problem. I chose Red Ice for that, too. I'm a cheapskate . Reducing line diameter makes a difference to distance on the casting court, but the advantage is reduced on the beach. Bait size and aerodynamics are more critical to getting distance—in my opinion. I'll take the safety of slightly thicker line for both casting and playing fish. From Surfcasting in New Zealand
