I'd add that for me, it's worth having someone (competent) at the sporting goods shop spool it up. Cost including line is usually $3-4, so not much more than you'd pay for the line alone.
If you're a DIY person, be sure that you have the donor spool oriented in the right direction when winding onto the reel to avoid introducing line twist...

While most like XL, I prefer XT for toughness and strength... that's just me! :-)

Like the others, I'm an #8 lb Trilene XL man.

8# XL is on my reel 98% of the time. 6# XL the rest of the time.

I'm a poor fisherman, looking for a good general duty, inexpensive line that will handle a range of possibilities for fish, and be forgiving of a general lack of fishing skill.
what weight and qualities should I look for?
