Tundra, 40lb Power pro should be fine, its what I use in the canal. If your on a jetty I would go with a 4 or 5 foot leader of 40 or 50lb mono (I use 50lb mono).

The reason is that you want to grab the leader, not the braid when landing a fish. A longer leader makes it easier to grab, no to mention it has better abraision resistance and your first 5' of line above a jig will get the most abused.

50lb mono will break before 40lb power pro does, if you get snagged on the bottom. That way you just loose your jig and a few feet of leader, saves the expensive braid.

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl. ~Ernest Hemingway
