    Line question

    I finally bought a couple size 20 abu Garcia spinning reels and a couple finesse rods (abus have a larger arbor, probably about a 25 size) I am wondering about braid main line, I have lots of 20 pound power pro both super slick and original, my question is for drop shot, wacky, Neko,.... would 20# hurt me? Or should I go with a different main line poundage?

    I usually go 20 or 15. 20 is more manageable. 15 has less resistance for windy days, current. I know other use 10 but too many wind knots, etc for me.
