I Have Been Using The 8 lb. Test Line For Fluke Fishing And The 30 Lb. Test Line For Stripers And Blues. I Really Like Both And Have Caught Tons Of Fish. I Have Not Re-spooled Yet This Year other Than Taking 3 To 7 Ft. Of Line Off The End. It's Been working Great For Me, But I Am Fishing From My Boat In The L.I. Sound Not In The Surf. I Think It Would Work Ok There Also, But Most Surf Guy's Are Using Braids ( Fireline, Power Pro, Etc. ) Give It A Try
Good Luck
