I'll be using it for senko's ned rigs,and weightless worms.thank you for your reply I haven't been fishing that much the last little bit so trying to learn all I can about reel's,spools and their capabilities.I sometimes get over whelmed by the many different sv spools and reels.I've been wanting to try a pixzilla and compare it to my sv alpha.

Try 7lb Sunline Sniper, or 20 Sufix Braid with a 7lb Sniper leader.
I use mine for senkos, lighter t rigs, and Ned rigs as well.

I second the 7lb sunline sniper, what I always use on my pixies. Just bought a spool of sunline shooter finesse special on a whim, hoping its amazing; 36 bucks for 109 yards while tatsu is $40 for 200 yards. Rod wise I'd say go with an ultra light if you have a tuned pixy, alphas sv has everything else covered.

I'm also a big fan of Sunline Super FC Sniper in 7# for a wide range of finesse applications. The Pixy platform pairs up nicely with that line.

Since you didn't mention budget, the Megabass F3-610X Hein is an incredible all around lighter bait rod. I use mine for weightless worms, light shakey heads, ned, neko, drop shot, top water, jerk baits, small cranks, etc... great rod...
