100# leader huh? And 600 yards of Monel! Thats kinda heavy IMHO and expensive to boot. 300 feet of Monel 40# will get ya down to 25-30 feet at around 2-4 knots with a 3 oz parachute jig. I jig and troll spoons in some rocky spots and the most I ever use is 40# Monel and about 15 feet of Ande 50# for leader. Even when trolling umbrella rigs, I can have 3 or 6 fish on and never have I had the leader break on me, even with several 20# fish on the same umbrella. Macojoe, how U tyin your leader to the wire? Do you an Albright? I dont like bead chain or swivels going thru my guides, and bead chain tends to break at the worst times.
