Ifn it was me I would spool it up with 65# Power Pro and top it off with a Rio Leviathan. Or load it up with JB 80# Hollow Spectra and thread the line right into the backing, works nice. Just like making a topshot. Add a dacron 130# loop to the business end of the fly line, add leader and fly, then proceed to kick some @$$.

Rio Leviathon line in coresponding weights.

By the way, just as an FYI when you post on here you can't send a link promoting your own business unless you actually sponsor Reel-Time. The mods will always take it down, and if you do sponsor you will see an ROI pretty quickly.

Best, JJ
