Congrats on the 1000 posts k2, Usually use 15lb Daiwa Tournament on mine have had no problems whatsoever with it, I use tapered leaders (also Daiwa 15lb tip) and find that if pulling for a break these usually snap before the main line about 6 inches or so down from knot.
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial

I use Ultima F1 on all my reels and never have a bit of bother. I know it's quite expensive but if you look on ebay sometimes you can pick it up fairly cheap. I really think you get what you pay for. :lol:
2nd choice would the new Imax line. 15lb is only .30 and it cast great too. It has good abrasion resistance also. :D
3rd choice as Pat said. Penn surf: £10 per spool but if you buy 2 spools you get a 3rd free. You can also mix and match the breaking strains if you want. :)
