I use bass size baitcasters for musky to keep the weight down for me. Plus I fish for pike and bass with same setup. Last year I used 80 lb test and on a few of my longer casts I was yards away from bottoming out. I estimate with 80 lb test I only had 70 yards on the spool. I can go 65 lb and get 90 yards or 50 lb line and get 120 yards on the spool. What would you do in this situation? I am using Suf 832 braid for what it is worth.
Thanks
