Pro Tip

When fishing with a 3.25lb all-rounder rod, pair it with a 15lb to 18lb mainline and a matching shock leader if you are hitting distances over 100 yards. This gives you the ideal balance of mainline suppleness for smooth line flow through the 50mm rings and the abrasive strength needed when battling fish near marginal weed beds.
