Okay, so I have read many posts in here about mainline strength for Vedder or Harrison, yet still not sure which I should go with. I have a bait cast reel and 2 years river experience now. I am confident and finally comfortable in using the reel. I have 20lb test now and need to change my line as it is due. I am conflicted between using 20lb test mainline with 15 lb test leader or 15 lb test mainline and 10 - 12 lb test leader. I plan on fishing for springs, chum, and coho in next few months. I do want a challenge yet do not want to be snapping leaders too often. I do know that improved fishing techniques will help, yet acknowledge that will only come with more practice.
I was also planning on respooling the new line myself and have found some helpful articles. Any problem with a dark green mainline (Mustad brand) or is Maxima Ultragreen the one to go with? Also what about the leader, can I use the dark green or again should I stick with the lighter color - ultragreen? (was given the dark green line as a gift).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
