I recently bought a new rod for casting and am trying to figure out the best line for getting good distance. I have had bad experiences with using light line in the past, I am not good at finessing those big fish with light line. So I need something strong and light. I am thinking braid, but have had bad experiences with that too. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, anyone know of a good cheap reel for casting?

the nano is great for casting and will cast a mile, but abrasion resistance, knot strength, and visibility are awful
Visibility is not much of an issue as this rig will be strictly for jig and bobber casting. Knot strength is an issue though.Quote:

Nanofill works great and cast a mile. I used the knot on the box and it worked perfect with no issues.
Their is a great video on Crappie.com home page about Nanofil might want to watch!!!! won the video contest!!!!
With the newer abu garcia revos and lews you can safely cast a baitcaster even in the wind if your wanting a long line.
