Yeah the fireline will have its place. I personaly hate braid. I hate the way it sounds coming through the guides. I hate the way it casts and I hate the way it diggs into itself on the spool. I will stay with my fluoro. However When I saw the new Fireline the first thing that poped in my head was Calicos in the kelp. This line will be awsome for that and frog fishing too.
I am sure I am in the minority but I dont like super light reels. They feel like toys if they are too light. I like light rods but i want a little weight to my reels. I fished a Shimano Scorpion and I didnt like how light it was. I have a couple Calias and I much prefer their weight to the little scorpion. My Okuma VS reels are also light but not too light. just about right. You guys probably think I am lame but its personal preference.
