Hey all, looking for advice about what line I should use with this Gatorback 6’6 Medium rod, with a Daiwa Sweepfire 2000-2B reel. I would like to use braid with a fluro leader, but Idk what lb I should use. Or should I just upgrade to a better set up? Also Im a bank fisherman (Mostly fishing for bass, trout, and panfish.) I also don’t have access to a boat. Located in VA. Thanks!

20lb braid to a 6 or 12 lb leader depending on what I’m fishing for has never let me down. I’ve been called out a couple times for it being overkill, so you could probably do 10-15lb braid to a 6lb leader and be set.
If your connecting main to leader using a small neat knot it can be longer as it glides through the guides.
