I am in need of advice on surf line selection. I have finally put together a surf rod. It's 10', and has a Penn International 975 cs/ld on it. What size line should I spool with? I would like to use the largest P-Line that I can, but have enough line so as not to get spooled. Your experienced suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks DH10

I'd go with a braid and not mono. Something in the neighborhood of 50-60 lb should be plenty.

Just keep an eye on the last 10 to 15 feet for wear, fuzzing, or thinness, you will do great.
