nice fish Beetle
tight drag & braid = straighten hooks and ripped lips
mono = loss of casting distance
gotta find the right combo.....different for different places
some places you can't let them run and have to stand your ground
I,ve been fishing the same spots for years and...sometimes you win...and sometimes the fish wins.....still looking for the perfect line
right now using 50# PP and 20# yozuri hybrid........
oh ya.....I learned the line and leader lesson the hard way.....being lazy costs BIG time
I agree with what I heard Crazy Alberto and others say....30# PP is not really like 30# test.....go with 40 or 50......
