I live in the Philippines and have only used mostly mono and have also used fluoro a couple of times, both in hand fishing and using rod and reel. I have never used braided my entire life.
Then when I learned online that having a longer rod + braided line allows for more casting distance, I ordered a 4.5m/15ft rod to replace my current 1.8m/5.10ft rod but still haven't decided on what braided line to get. I use a cheap but surprisingly durable spinning reel.
What would you guys recommend that can cast as far as possible but still be strong enough in case a big fish suddenly took the bait? Or is line size irrelevant for casting distance and I can just go straight for 30kg/66lbs line?
TYiA!
