[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 252794, member: 337"] zero stretch line, maybe a leader. Let the rod (and you) decide how spongy to play the fish. With spongy line you just turn the crank on the reel (it seems like) - no adept control of the situation. I'd rather lose 20% of my hookups and have 90% more fun by feeling every muscle twitch and lurch - Ha ha ha. Most of that is certainly "in my head" and I'd probably catch more using line with more give... but I'm out there to feel it - so to hell with spongy line. [/QUOTE]
