I would get either the Troutist Area in 3# test or the Varivas Super Trout Advance Sight Edition in 3# test. You will not go wrong with either. I hear you about tying the knots. I had to go to hi-vis lines as there is no way I can see the clear lines. As for fishing I need to get back to Pickwick in the spring. I used to live close....like real close. I lived in Middleton, TN. Then I moved 90 miles from Pickwick....now I live 146 miles from there. One day trips at age 68 are no fun anymore. But....I do want to hit it a few more times if I can.
