Mate you got yourself a good outfit and it will last you for years with a bit of "maint" after use,the thermo dyneema line (fireline,hotfibre type)that you picked up will work better on your "Kastor" threadline reel than a true braid like "bionic,platypus super braid" which perform best on overhead/baitcasters etc...As far as leaders i use platypus platinum for general use,flurocarbon "vanish" for finess fishing situations and penn 10x when fishing for bigger fish in a "tuff environment eg Faust dam for Barra".The only knot that I use is the uni-knot to uni-knot(haven't had one fail yet).All the best with the new outfit and let us know when and what you christen it with...Smithy....
