15-20lb mainline,,,,,various brands and 80lb shockleader,most of the fishing i do is over clean /mixed ground so rarely use 30lb straight through,most lines these days will do the job,but expect to pay a bit more if you want to get your moneys worth out of it,think everyone has there own favourites

i use ultima distance most the time in 18lb or 15lb sometimes, lovely line to cast and lays nicely on the reel. trying some ultima power out now and that is good aswell.

On my smaller reels the stren blood red 16lb has been a cracking line with a 70lb leader, on the slosh I've just started using Diawa sensor 35lb straight thro which was a nightmare til I got the stretch out of it but once it settles down you can't beat it.
I'm not a complete idiot there's bits missing

have used the stren stanima a bit on the thick side but also very good easy to see flourecent .

as you say daiwa sensor very good once settled in.

straight out of the box and use immediately for me ultima distance.
