16lb Pro Spec Chrome will also work fine and like river said forget the sticker …prolly can get over 200 yds on the spool.
Surf rod/reel question
Hi folks, I was thinking about pairing up a Penn Battalion II 12' surf rod with a Penn Slammer IV 5500 reel. Sole purpose would be surf fishing. Any opinions on this match-up? Not trying to break the bank and these seemed like a decent price for what's offered. Trying to stay under the $500 limit. I have to stick with a 2-piece rod unfortunately.
As always, I appreciate you guys advice!

I agree about braid other than my spinning reel for jerk jigging off a pier or jetty or throwing metal on a spinner maybe, although i currently have 14lb sakuma with a bite leader on my spinner for throwing 1-4 metals etc. I have been very pleased with 16lb pro spec chrome blaze orange on my conventional reels. However I am not paying the price for it anymore until it comes way back down to earth if ever. I have some Sufix Superior Neon Fire waiting when I re-spool.I would have suggested 16 lb but Teachs was out, I was in there the other day lookin for it, he may have to go up the beach to get it ... best line ever ... I HATE BRAID !
