Traps
Jon.....been there done this. My suggestion would be 30' of line beyond what you need for the depth. Thats what I used and other than the usual a..h...s stealing my lobsters that length of line worked fine. Make sure before you put them in the water how other people lay out their traps. If no one is near you fine, but if there are other lobsters guys especially commercial guys they usually lay their pots in a pattern and if you drop yours contrary to how they drop theirs you may run into trouble. I dropped my one time and only once east west and the commercial guys laid their out north south. Needless to say pulling up three pots tied together by hand and cutting the lines was a tedious tiring adventure. I asked arond afterwards and one of the commercial guys was kind enough to point out my mistake. Have fun and enjoy the lobsters. Lstly think about this. The more line you attach the the pot the more line and time you'll spend pulling them in.
