What Line should I be using ?? Considering: * I mostly fish from shore (heavy brush and wood areas) * When I'm on the lake I'm mostly fishing near/in heavily underwater veg. * My reel is an Okuma Stratus SGT-30 8 +1 ballbearings 5.0 to 1 gear ratio * My rod is a Shakespeare UglyStik Lite SP 1170-1MH 7 ft Medium Heavy * I'm new to spincasting reels and am having trouble casting far (in comparison to closed-faced (old push-the-button) reels using the same lure Any suggestions?

Braid. You Can use a small diameter line that is super strong.

someone told me, I think at Dick's to get Braid, but then when I asked the guy who worked at Dick's he said to go with Vanish/non memory by Berkley - 10lb test. Should I be looking at a particular color?
