Re: Swimbait fishing line.
25 lb P-Line CXX for me. I've found the stretch of 25 lb mono to be critical to how I play my fish... its that last little fail safe when you need a bit of give boatside.

Re: swimbait reels
Twinger, My experience with the lower profile reels is not so much a matter of feel as much as a matter of components. The positive aspects of the larger calcuttas are first that they hold more line. Its not that you really need that much line to throw a swimbait but if you have it a major break off...

Re: swimbait reels
I use the 400 series Calcuttas. I've had no problems with Shimano, which model you choose is based on your budget. The Cardiff will work but just isn't as smooth as the higher models, whether or not that matters depends on how much you use the reel. The Calcutta TE or the Conquest are AWESOME choice...

Note: It has been my experience that on many of the Northern California fish those equations simply do not work. They come up POUNDS off of the actual weights much of the time. Regardless, that is a great catch, especially in the delta!
