Hi, and thanks for sharing your knowledge:
I got a Daiwa BG30 [black gold series] and it must hold over 200 yards of about 14 # test. I cast with an Ugly Stick.
When casting a Super Shad Rap or another 1 oz. Pike lure, I notice I have getting trouble getting distance with a 17# test.
There's a private water here with catch & release only, and barbless hooks required. It is full of pike. Most are only 6# or so, but there are some 44" beauties, (weight 20#?+)
Most bass are over 5# and often as not over 10#
Also, I go for pike in waters where you can keep them all, and 30# are not exactly rare, but they are not all that big.
