Hi there, the thinner diameter the more distance you will get with your cast. Your spool must be full otherwise you will loose distance as well.

I use 7LBS XX mainline  (brown Cameleon) and as a Leader the XX 20 LBS or Stevensons . Very strong.

Hope this info helps

Leader: 16 - 22lb XX High Abrasion

ek het so bietjie gatvol begin raak vir Double x se lyn wat twist en sleg oprol al doen jy dit reg.

ek het laasnaweek jackal se 0.21mm (10.6lb) getoets, die wit een.
puik lyn met geen probleme nie en waarde vir jou geld. nou sit ek met dun, sterk lyn op my spoele

o ja, ek het nou al my spoele daarmee vervang

Why not try the same make of line as your reels ? Rovex good quality for its price.

personally i think that Rovex rods are awesome... the reels are cool but i would love a pair of Shimanos...

thinking of XX or Suffix line, just don't know which one is better,,,

It also depends on if you will be casting, rowing, doing comp or social fishing. For social I use 0.25mm xx line on a spool without any backing. That way you can fish for a long time and you won't be loosing too much line when getting snagged as your hooklinks would normally not be stronger as the main line. For comps I use any line as backing and then approximately 200m 0.18mm xx hi-vis or hi-abrasion line for casting.

Double XX one was my line of choice , but not for the past 25 years .
