Personally, I'd stick 20lb Berkley Fireline on it. Cover 99% of everything, that would.

Note: 300 Meters of Fireline with 15lb mono backing.

[i][b][color=#0000BF] best advice for catching species is girls dont like fishing and its hard to catch fish when you sell all your gear'[/color][/b][/i]

30lb braid would be the best bet, 20lb braid is fine but if knicked becomes too week.
youll need a lot of backing on the reel first before the braid as the tld15 has a large capacity.

as for what braid then everyone has their personal fav.
i like and have tried most of the ones mentioned and all were ok.

look for a bargain amongst that lot and you wont go far wrong.
why does yer last cast always take an hour?

hi all
thanks for all the replies. i decided on the Berkley but got the dreaded phone call session cancelled :( has been changed to a shore comp instead due to the weather!
