I was outbid :-) on the 400 , so I'm going to get a 300. Thank's again everyone for your replies.

Just ordered a 300 and a 660 yd. spool of Maxima Green in 25# mono from Cabelas. I plan to put it on either this rod:

or this rod:

Almost forgot; I am waiting(just being painted) on a ROF 5 and 12 Hudd for those rigs too.
