Like i said earlier and what Mr Bill agreed on is the line is the important thing. The reel is only as good as the line that connects you. I have several friends who put tuffline and then connect it to colored line and my thoughts on that are smple...

anytime there is a connection there is a chance it will fail. I would rater spend the $180 dollars on a full spool and not worrying if my knot is good. I always use a loop to loop connection to a wind on or a palomar to a swivel

The YKG line is very thin and soft, much softer than anything I have ever felt therefore you can pack on the line. The PE6 breaks at 86lbs which is great. hope this helps. the last thing i want after investing 600 in a reel being connected to a trophy fish is the knot or line breaking

hope this helps
