I would go for a Cortland 444 DT, and only use half the line. ( Just cut it
in the middle).Fill the reel up with backing. There is no point in
overlining a soft rod, so I would use the rated line.

The trick is, to wind the half line on, put the backing on, until the spool
is nearly full, and then reverse the whole lot. This ensures optimal
retrieval rates, and also prevents the line being wound into small coils.
Never had a problem with memory on Cortland lines.

Keep the other half of the line in reserve, packed in loose coils in the
original packaging. This should last you quite a few years.

WF line wont do you much good, as you will never even see the running line
under the circumstances you describe, and distance casting with a soft rod
is also pointless.
