    If your going to load that size reel up, why not go the full hog, put some cheap 50lb on first then load her up with 80lb braid.
    Youll never regret it.

    go for Harro's Bionic Braid in 50lb, the guys might call you a sissy with your girly pink line, but they'll be whinging like cut cats when your pullin in the big fish

    I was advised Berkly Trilene for my overhead but haven't had the fish to test it out yet.
    But I will wait patiently(damn fish).
    Cheers Kev.

    I used Platipus Platinum but found it went chaulky after a while,I now have my eggbeaters spooled with Daiwa Crystal Clear,it's proving to be a fair line for me.Recently my mate spooled up with Berkley Iron Silk (interlocking copolimar)he reckons this stuff is brilliant,so smooth going over the guides he can hardly feel it,only one draw back......the shity orange colour.

    i like to use fireline for all types of fishing i have 1 overhead spooled with 20 pound fireline and another spooled with 30 pound fireline. i also have an offshore rod with 50 pound fireline on it. i like to use fireline cos it has very little strech if any and this makes it easy to feel the bites when u r fishing in deep water

    Yep, would go 50lb Bionic, not just because I sell it but because I use it and love it.

    Although it is rated at 50lb tests on the current stock are showing that it is breaking at around 70lb +.

    More info on Harros's Bionic Braid can be found here.
