First of all you' re going to like the reel I' ve had mine for 7 years. But for the line I like the Bass Pro Excel (10 to 14 # depending on structure) I' ve used it a long time and it' s cheap enough to respool frequently if needed. As far as the braided, never used it on a baitcaster, but have used it on spinning and had a problem with it digging into itself and the bigger the fish the worse it digs in. Don' t know how it will do on the curado though.
