$30 Mitchell Avocet II Silver Spinning Combo Review

[MuskieBait]

6lb is okay...but a little light if you hook up to a 10lb+ carp.

120 yards of 8lb is plenty for most freshwater situation. If you're fishing trout in rivers, you hardly ever need 50 yards as long as you have waders to chase them when necessary. Pike don't usually pull out a lot of line. They just make a few determined runs...that's about it.

Salmon at the river mouth...that's a whole different animal. You want at least 200 yards of 15lb braid on a reel...but I feel much better having 300 yards of 20lb braid.
