When I cast - usually somewhere between tip to reel and tip to where the blank
Meets the top of the cork/hypalon.

I have a few rigs where I use a Seaguar castable Fluoro - Abraz-X 25lb - I think 200 Yards - on some older, weaker star drags w/Spectra transferred from other reels that were getting low (TLD 15/30, SL 40) to create some hybrid rigs for fishing mid depth jigs (6X JRs) or dropper looping baits. The fluorocarbon coated lines can last a few seasons, more abrasion resistant than mono, etc. End up costing less in the long run. If we ever see pinhead anchovies for Albies again - that might be the rig of choice.
