yep, 30lb spectra is your best bet. top it with whatever you want. look into some telescoping flipping sticks for freshwater bass. the majority of them are 7'2" and a telescoping rod is a little better than a 2-piece IMO. you'll find alot rated for 15-20lb mono or 30lb braid. Don't listen to them, Curados kick ass. just check your drags before and after any big trip.

I would stay away from the powerpro personally. It is wax coated and pretty stiff until the wax wears off. There are several good braids out there to choose from. Jerry Brown, Berkley, Blackwater to name a few. I think you will be much happier with casting distance, and overall performance with uncoated.

We have caught plenty of Yellowtail, and even a tuna or two on the Curado 200. Curtis even hooked a Mola on one a couple of years back. Damned thing ate a sardine, and jumped like a marlin. It's a blast! Have fun.
