Pier Rod??

Now that I think about it, I don't want to tear up my reel. What size mono would y'all recommend for it?

325 yds17# to 300yds 20# mono on a 706

I use 15# mono on my king rods.

I just had 20 # high visibility mono put on mine reel. That way me and others can see that ugly orange line. My 2 cents

Cool, thanks everybody, I appreciate it.

I keep a few older Penn 4/0 6/0 around to use as a slave reel to transfer line to or swap ends of it to extend useful life of the line.

If you have a reel laying around you could use it to keep that 50lb on till you have a need for it.

Are any of the J&M rods 2 piece?

All of my Rods are 2 piece and are budget friendly, Amozon and EBay (ect.). I usually have several people that go with me, the reason for so many.
My setup now:


Cobia, King, Bull Reds
2-8' Tsunami Airwave MH SR with Penn Fierce II 6000 15lb Mono
1-7.6' Ugly Stik GX-2 M SR with Penn Battle II 5000 20lb Braid


Flounder, Reds
1-6.6' Ugly Stik GX-2 M SR with Penn Fierce II 5000 20lb Braid
1-6.6' Berkley Amp M SR with Penn Fierce II 4000 20lb Braid


Spanish
3-7' Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 M SR with Penn Battle II 3000 20lb Braid


Pompano, Ground Mullet, Speck
2-6.6' Abu Garcia Vengeance ML SR with Penn Battle II 2000 6lb Fluoro


Backup, Bait Sabiki and Ribbon
1-6.6' Ugly Stik GX-2 M SR with Penn Pursuit II 5000 15lb Mono

Have you had any problems with the guides falling off of the centers coming out of them?

I've had the centers come out of the Berkley Amps and they was replaced for free. That's why I changed my Spanish set ups to the Abu Garcia rods and have not had a problem with them. Just don't use the Berkley Amps to throw a lot of lures. The Tsunami Airwaves have been great so far, time will tell. The Ugly Stik's are the toughest just don't have that feel and are a little heavy.
