On my rod that I throw my bigger baits I use 25#...The smaller baits I use 20#...Gear ratio on one is 7.1 the other is 6.3:1...I wish they were a little slower but these are what I'm using...By the way I use the Daiwa Lexa 300 which has been a great reel for the money...
20lb floro, curado 300d 6.3, loomis 7'11" (3-8oz) swimbait stick (thanks to booya az). Love it. Tie a loop knot for better action. I use a loop knot on spooks, jerk baits, swimbaits, etc. huge difference especially w/hard jerk baits imo.
#25 Big Game. Use a good snap ring on swimbait. Make sure is swims properly. Big game is 10.00 for 500 Yards. Best line for the money for chucking big baits.
I started out using Big Game but switched to Pline CXX...I like the CXX much better, not as stiff and doesn't coil as easy...But I agree it is great line for the money and very strong...
For big ass swim baits I use 25lb P-Line CXX Mono.
