Hi ,
I'm sure some will disagree , but if you are casting overhead with cheap soft rods 20/25lb line will be fine , you don't need a shockleader : just regularly control the last few meters of your mainline for damages , and re-ty the knott to the rig after every session .... if you cast anything like a power cast , then a shockleader is a must (10lb of braking strength for each oz of lead!) especially on crowdy piers !
You won't cast further with a multiplier , especially as a beginner ...
As said : rince and put your reels to dry after every session , give the line roller a drop of oil and they will last for a long time .
Cheers , Gert
