Well I will be doing primarily strip mine pit fishing. These are lakes formed by the strip mining of coal years ago. They have steep inclines and not much heavy cover so horsing the bass out of weeds is not really a problem. I probably don't need heavier line than 6-8 lb max.
I also have a small lake behind my house full of bass primarily 1-2 pounds. Not lunkers by any means but sure a lot of fun to catch. I use primarily artificial worms with Carolina Rigs and buzz baits there. You have to go weedless for all the algae in the summer months.
I was thinking the 2500 was best for me as well. The only reason I asked about the 4000 is because it seems readily available on Ebay more so than the 2500.
