Monofilament : Still has its place, particularly for crankbaits and topwater lures where some stretch is beneficial

For fishing crankbaits, I prefer monofilament line, but since it is rather difficult to switch back and forth in the middle of the stream, I rely on Berkleys FireLine braid in 8-pound-test line

If you were to search best gear ratio for crankbait fishing, or "the best baitcasting reel to throw glide baits, youll see products and recommendations for the 5:1-6:1 family of reels

The one I bought (780101) arrived today, in very fine condition indeed

Depending on your preferred method of fishing, there are several different lines out there at different price points that will cover your needs and provide you with a quality fishing experience.
