30 lb. braid to 6' of 20 lb. flouro for me.

The cast-ability of braid ( Distance - no line memory ) and the senastivity of the two combined has me sold. Braid last quiet a while before needing to be replaced the flouro seems to be the most abrasion resistant I've found. If your having problems casting braid you may need to switch to a reel with a different braking system that suites your casting style better or take the time to learn the characteristics of it and educate your thumb to it.

I've switched quit a few of my Bass combos to braid/flouro in different weights due to the reasons above.

For stretch purposes I usually drop to a lighter power and/or slower action rod to compensate when using this line configuration.

Good luck with your search ...
