Now its time to get more in depth with this review!!
 
Gear for the review consisted of:
 Rod:  Shimano V-Rod VCT66MH 6'6" MH
 Reel: Shimano Citica 200D 6:2:1 Ratio 
 Line: 10lb Berkley Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon

 

 

Using backing can allow you to get 2 reels spooled, from a single 200yd spool. Just leave some old line on, and tie the new line to it. Save some cash and time!

I started with a Lucky Craft LV500 since summertime usually means fishing deeper. Tying it using the popular Polomar knot worked perfectly.
 
Tight Polomar knot

Durability / Strength: After about 30 casts, the line looks good. There are no nicks or cuts and the knot is strong. I also show the results after spending 3 hours of fishing on the next page.
