Please help would be much appreciated! Sorry for the length, I wanted to provide as much information so if you answer it will be accurate and not an estimate.
I recently got a St. Croix 7' heavy rod, fast action, SCII Graphite, 14-25 lb line, 3/8-1 1/2 oz lure. To accompany it I got a Cabela's Tournament ZX Casting Reel- 110/10 line capacity but when I got the actual product it said 130/10, gear ratio: 7. 2: 1, bearings: 8+1, weight: 6. 1 oz (not sure if this is a factor I'm pretty sure it's not lol, line recovery(in)/turn: 28. 5
I want to use this for a musky set up. I was most likely going to get 40# braid with 10# diameter but what do you think I should get for my line? I have always used bass setups and if I use braid I will have to put backing on as well I'm not sure of what to get here. I have also never caught a musky, although I have attempted many times. The heaviest lure I have is one of those top water missile looking lures I think it weighs 1 1/4 oz, the heaviest lure I do get is probably going to be 1 1/2 oz but I'm just really stuck on what kind and # of line I should get so I'm telling you all this in case it factors in because you're obviously a better fisherman then me. Again your help would be MUCH appreciated.

How about a video on 3-4 rod and reel combos that are versatile with multiple baits. I wanna buy 3-4 new combos but keep spinning my wheels on length and gear ratio's and line. I fish frogs, jigs, swimming jigs, spinners and cranks. I stick to spinning rods when using finesse worms. I too prefer Shimano over my pflueger. Thanks!

Hey Justin, I am somewhat of a new fisherman and I have a few questions that I'm sure you could answer. Is there an email or some way I could reach you so we could talk about some fishing techniques and tips?
